Senior tech leadership
without the full-time hire.
For funded startups, scaling SMBs, and family businesses with a technical product. A few hours a week of senior CTO time: architecture, hiring, vendor management, build-vs-buy calls, and board reporting in a language non-technical execs can act on.
Everything you need, none of the upsell.
Real deliverables, with the boundaries written down. So you know what you're paying for and what counts as extra.
The decisions that compound.
Stack choice, hosting, database, observability, security. The bets you make now decide what your team does for years.
Job specs through reference checks.
Engineering interviews, scorecards, and reference calls. So you hire signal, not just whoever applied first.
Negotiate from a position of know.
We've seen the contracts and the gotchas. We negotiate with you instead of just for you.
Tech in business language.
Quarterly board updates that show progress, risk, and spend in terms your non-technical board members can absorb.
The order we work in.
A clear sequence so you can budget time, money, and risk against the work.
