FRACTIONAL LEADERSHIP
CTO, CPO, and PM-level leadership. Without the full-time hire.
You need senior tech leadership but can't justify — or can't find — a full-time CTO or CPO. Our operators embed with your team and bring the experience of scaling companies from 10 to 500+ engineers.
THE PROBLEM
The expertise-affordability gap.
Hiring a full-time CTO costs 250-400K per year — and takes months to find. Meanwhile, your team needs direction now. Architecture decisions are being made without senior oversight. The board wants a tech strategy and there's nobody to present one. The gap between what you need and what you can afford is real.
