CTO services, on demand: fractional, virtual, interim, or advisory.
One place to get senior technical leadership without a $300K hire or a six-month search. Pick the model that fits your stage, we start in days and are built to hand off well.
Same veteran leadership, sized four ways. Most companies start with one and move between them as they grow:
Fractional CTO
Ongoing part-time leadership, 10–40 hours a week. For companies that need real technical authority and roadmap ownership, not another advisor.
Interim CTO
Full ownership, fast, when your CTO just left. We stabilize the team and the board story while you run the permanent search.
Virtual CTO
Remote technical leadership for distributed teams and early-stage products that need direction more than headcount.
Advisory & consulting
A senior independent read, an engineering audit, due diligence, or an AI plan, when you need judgment on a specific decision.

How on-demand CTO engagements work
Every engagement starts with clarity: a structured look at your systems, people, and delivery before we change anything. Then a standing operating rhythm, sprint oversight, architecture decisions, hiring, and board prep, sized to your stage and scaled up or down as the work demands.
You get a fixed quote before we start. No equity, no long-term lock-in, month to month after the first engagement period.
03
When you actually need a full-time CTO
When engineering passes roughly 15 people or product complexity demands daily presence, a full-time CTO earns the salary. We will tell you when you get there, help you scope the role, and interview your finalists. Our engagements are designed to end well, not to entrench.
“They knew what to do as soon as I asked them for something.”
A way to get a veteran CTO on a flexible basis, fractional, interim, virtual, or advisory, instead of a full-time executive hire. You get the leadership and ownership without the $300K salary, equity, or six-month search.
How is a fractional CTO different from an interim CTO?
Fractional is ongoing and part-time; interim is full ownership for a defined gap, usually after a departure. We help you pick on the intro call. Fractional vs Interim vs Full-Time →
How fast can you start?
Days. First call this week, on the ground next week.
How much does it cost?
Retainers are scoped by hours with a fixed quote before we start. You will get a number on the intro call, not a dance. See typical market rates →
