Services / Fractional CTO Retainer
Fractional CTO for non-technical founders
Senior technical leadership, part-time, before you can justify a full-time CTO: the architecture, the build-vs-buy calls, and an engineering team that ships the right thing.
Fractional CTO Retainer: $8k / month · 3-month minimum
Who it’s for
Founders without a technical co-founder who are making architecture and hiring decisions they can't yet evaluate themselves.
What you get
- Own technical direction: architecture, stack, and build-vs-buy decisions
- Code review and engineering process for your team or agency
- Hiring help for your first engineers
- Hands-on building, not just advising
- Translating business goals into a roadmap engineers can execute
Who you’re working with
I've spent my career as a founding or consulting CTO across five startups — AI education, business-English learning, freelance marketplaces, and a multi-tenant content platform. Since early 2026 I've been hands-on with production AI agent orchestration every day, and I build with these tools constantly — the automated system that surfaced and wrote this growth is my own. I'm based in San Francisco and work remotely with teams anywhere.
