Fractional CTO for your startup while a full-time CTO is still out of reach.
We take ownership of technology in your startup: decisions, vendor oversight and the
documentation investors will ask for. No full-time hire, no equity.
We agree that after the first call and put it in the contract. Before a round you usually need more of our time than during maintenance, so we adjust the hours when you ask.
How does billing work?
The fractional CTO role is billed as a fixed number of hours per month. Build work, such as an MVP, a new module or a migration, is quoted separately: Fixed Price or weekly and monthly sprints. You know the amount before we start.
When will I see the first results?
Within the first month. We start by reviewing your code, your contracts and the due diligence checklist, so you quickly learn what blocks the round and what to fix first.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes, before the first in-depth conversation if you need one. We can sign your template or send ours. For accelerators, the NDA is part of the framework agreement for the whole portfolio.
I already have a software vendor. What then?
You do not have to replace them. We work on your side: we read quotes, join status calls, review the code and check that you get what you pay for. If the vendor does good work, we will tell you that too.
Can you help with due diligence?
Yes. We close the gaps from the checklist, starting with the ones that block the deal, and prepare the technical documentation for the data room. We also join the technical calls with the fund.
Who owns the IP for what we build?
You do. Where full rights cannot be transferred, for example with third-party components, you get a licence to use them.
I have a technical co-founder. Is this still useful?
Yes, in a narrower scope. Your co-founder runs technology day to day. We do an independent architecture review before a round, give a second opinion on a big stack decision or help you build the team.
