Fractional CXO

CTO, CPO or CPTO leadership, exactly when you need it.

Senior technology and product leadership from people who've held the seat as co-founders, CTOs and VPs of Engineering. We plug into your team, fill the technical or product gaps, and tie every decision to your business metrics.

Sound familiar?

  • You need senior tech leadership, but a full-time CTO isn't the right hire yet
  • Your product roadmap and your engineering capacity don't match
  • Investors are asking technical questions nobody can answer with confidence
  • Delivery is slow, and it isn't clear why

What we do

We plug into your company and fill the technical or product gaps you have. We shape technology strategy, optimize development processes, hire and manage engineers, lead MVP builds, join fundraising efforts and, when it helps, ship production code.

Whether you’re a startup navigating a critical phase or an established business going through digital transformation, you get the guidance of a seasoned CTO, CPO or CPTO precisely when your business needs it, without the commitment of a full-time executive hire.

Why it works

  • Quality and experience: leaders who have been co-founders, CTOs and VPs of Engineering, including through an IPO.
  • Speed and focus: a small senior team, fast decisions and clear milestones.
  • Measurable impact: we agree the business objectives and metrics upfront, then report against them.

Questions

What's the difference between CTO, CPO and CPTO?

A CTO leads technology and engineering, a CPO leads product strategy and discovery, and a CPTO covers both. We match the role to your gaps.

Do you write code?

When it helps. We fix bugs, build features, lead MVP builds and ship production code, as well as hiring and managing engineers.

Can you help us hire a permanent CTO?

Yes. Hiring and handing over to permanent leadership is part of our Build → Operate → Transfer model.
