Critical urgencyBig tech decisions, no technologist in the room

Fractional CTO

IT Strategy & Roadmap Advisory

You're making five- and six-figure technology decisions every year without anyone in the room whose job is to get them right. A fractional CTO costs a fraction of a full-time hire and makes every other IT dollar you spend smarter.

What it is

Service description

A monthly engagement where we sit in your leadership meetings as your technology advisor — building and maintaining a 3-year IT roadmap, weighing in on vendor decisions before they're signed, and making sure technology spend is actually moving the business forward. Typically 4–8 hours a month, remote, with a quarterly in-person review.

What you get

Outcomes

  • A written 3-year technology roadmap tied to your business plan
  • A second opinion before any major vendor or platform decision
  • Someone accountable for how your tech stack fits together
  • Quarterly reviews that keep the roadmap honest as plans change
Who it's for

Target customer

Growth-stage businesses ($1M–$20M revenue) that have outgrown ad-hoc IT decisions but aren't ready for a $150K+ full-time hire — especially founders heading into a funding round, acquisition, or fast headcount growth.
