Senior technology decisions made well, without hiring a full-time CTO before you need one.

In short

Early companies make technology decisions that are expensive to undo: the stack, the first developers, the vendor contract. CTO as a service puts an experienced person beside the founders for those decisions, for a few days a month instead of a full salary.

What CTO as a service covers

Agreed each month, around what your company needs now.

How we work

  1. 01

    Tell us the goal

  3. 03

    A written plan

    The work, who does it and how it is measured. Nothing starts until you approve it.

Industries we serve

Common challenges

Signs you need a CTO, but not full-time yet

Typical situations, not results from a named client.

Founders without a technical background

You depend on an agency or freelancers and cannot judge their work.

A big decision coming

A rebuild, a new platform or a large vendor contract that is hard to undo.

Investor or customer questions

Due diligence or security questionnaires nobody on the team can answer well.

Your first developer hires

You need to know what to hire for, and how to tell who is good.

How we work

How CTO as a service works

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Your product, team, code, vendors and the decisions coming up.

  2. 02

    Priorities

    A short written plan: the decisions to make now, and the risks to fix first.

  3. 03

    Monthly rhythm

    Regular sessions with the founders, plus reviews between them as work comes up.

  4. 04

    Hand-off

    When you hire a full-time CTO, we help recruit them and hand over cleanly.

What CTO as a service means

CTO as a service, sometimes called a fractional CTO, gives a company senior technology leadership part-time. It suits startups and growing companies that need sound technology decisions but not yet a full-time executive, and teams between CTOs.

The work is advice and oversight, not only building. Where the bigger question is how technology should change the whole business, see our digital transformation consulting page. When you need the software built, our software development company page covers the build.

Cost

What CTO as a service costs

There is no public price list, because the cost follows the job.

What affects the cost

  • How many days a month
  • How much review work between sessions
  • Whether hiring help or due diligence is included

How we price

You see the scope and the fee in writing before work starts, month to month.

Questions buyers ask us

  • Part-time senior technology leadership for a company that does not need, or cannot yet afford, a full-time CTO. It covers the roadmap, architecture, vendor and code reviews, security basics and hiring help.

  • Yes, the two names describe the same thing: an experienced technology lead working with you for part of each month.

  • The role is leadership and oversight. If you want the build too, our development team can do it, and the CTO reviews it like any other vendor's work.

  • Yes. We help write the role, run technical interviews and hand over everything we know when the new CTO starts.
