The problem

Why Founders get stuck before they launch

You’ve got the vision. But without the right technical partner, it’s hard to move fast, make smart decisions, or build something real.

No tech background

You know what to build — but not how to build it.
Most founders are great at strategy, vision, and customer insight — but when it comes to architecture, hiring developers, or managing sprints, they’re guessing. This gap slows everything down and drains confidence.

Can’t find the right CTO

Finding a tech co-founder is like winning the lottery.
Most CTOs are either unavailable, too expensive, or not the right fit for early-stage chaos. Meanwhile, critical product decisions get delayed — or worse, outsourced to people who don’t think long term.

Building without a plan

Teams build features… but not the foundation.
Without a clear roadmap, tech stack, or product leadership, you end up with scattered code, no velocity, and constant rework. Investors notice. Users don’t stick. Momentum stalls.

ABOUT US

A team that feels like in-house, but better

We’re not a dev shop. We’re not freelancers. And we’re definitely not some agency that hides behind deliverables.

We go deep on product, fast on execution, and all-in on your success. Sometimes, founders even ask us to take equity. That’s how much they trust us.

FAQ

Common questions

How is a fractional CTO different from hiring a full-time CTO?

A fractional CTO gives you high-level tech leadership without the full-time salary, equity, or long-term commitment. You get focused strategy, execution oversight, and team support — only when you need it.

What kind of startups do you work with?

We work with early-stage startups, scaling SaaS companies, and tech-enabled businesses — especially those building AI products, marketplaces, or complex projects. Whether you’ve raised funding or are still validating, we can step in and lead.

How hands-on are you during the project?

Very. We don’t just advise — we lead. We manage sprints, review architecture, help hire devs, and guide the team like an embedded CTO. You’ll feel the difference immediately in both speed and clarity.

What if I already have developers?

Great — we love working with existing teams. We’ll support your developers with technical direction, product guidance, mentorship, and clear priorities so they can ship faster and with more confidence.

Can you help with AI strategy too?

Yes. We specialize in AI-native product builds, and we’ll help you integrate AI where it adds real value — from custom agents to automations. No hype, just practical, scalable use cases.

How fast can we start?

Typically within a few 1-2 weeks. We move fast, and our engagements are lightweight to start — just book a call, and if we’re a good fit, we’ll get started with an onboarding session and initial roadmap.
