Making technology decisions without senior guidance

Hiring developers but not sure what "good" looks like

Technical roadmap that's just a list of features

Developers building but no one guiding architecture
✓
Due diligence coming up and tech is a black box
The Cost of Inaction
→Expensive mistakes in technology choices
→Technical debt that compounds quickly
→Missed scaling issues until they become crises

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before moving forward.

How many hours per month?+

Typical engagements are 2-4 days per month. Some clients need more during critical periods (fundraising, major launches), others less during steady-state. We flex based on your needs.

Can you help hire a full-time CTO?+

Yes. Many engagements include defining the CTO role, building the job description, screening candidates, and ensuring a smooth transition.

What if we need hands-on coding help?+

This role is strategic, not implementation. However, we can connect you with trusted developers for hands-on work, or expand the engagement to include development.

How quickly can you start?+

Usually within 1-2 weeks. We start with a deep-dive session to understand your business, technology, and goals.
