Fractional / Consulting CTO

Strategic technology leadership without the full-time commitment

Many startups and scale-ups don't need to hire a full-time CTO. Getting an experienced one is expensive, and many CTOs with the experience to help you scale are no longer hands-on enough to help you build in the first place.

We engage part-time with startups and scale-ups who want a strong combination of strategy and tactics, from someone who's still close enough to the code to tell what works and what doesn't—and why.

What You Get

Strategic technology planning and roadmapping
Team leadership and mentoring
Architecture and technical decision-making
Hands-on technical guidance
Excellent price-performance ratio
Experience across multiple sectors
Both strategic vision and tactical execution
Flexible engagement models

Bringing in a "fractional CTO" (a fraction of our time) gives you the expertise you need at a cost that works for your business.

Technology Due Diligence

Comprehensive technical assessment for informed investment decisions

We regularly undertake technology-focused due diligence reviews for Venture Capital and Private Equity houses. These range from quick summaries to multi-day (or multi-week) deep dives into every aspect of a target company's technology stack, team, and processes.

We also work informally with companies planning to raise money or who have made significant changes and want an objective opinion on how well they're doing.

Our Due Diligence Covers

Technology stack assessment
Code quality and architecture review
Team capability evaluation
Development processes and practices
Security and compliance assessment
Scalability analysis
Technical debt identification
IP and licensing review

Risk assessment and recommendations

Scope: From rapid assessments to comprehensive multi-week deep dives, tailored to your needs.
