Your Chief Technology Officer,
On Demand.
Senior technical leadership without the full-time hire. We become your embedded Chief Technology Officer (CTO), optimizing your whole team’s technology, owning the roadmap, and making the calls that keep everything moving in the right direction. An extension of your team, not just advice on the side.
Big Technology Decisions, No Senior Voice in the Room
Most growing businesses hit the same wall: the technology stakes get high before a full-time CTO makes sense. Sound familiar?
- You’re making expensive technology decisions without a senior technical voice in the room.
- Your tools and systems have piled up over time and nobody owns how they fit together.
- You’re not sure what to build in-house, what to buy, and what to automate.
- A full-time CTO would cost a quarter-million a year, and you don’t need one full-time yet.
What an Embedded CTO Does for You
We plug in as a technical leader on your team and take ownership of the decisions that shape where your technology goes next.
Optimize Your Whole Stack
We audit the technology your whole team touches, tools, systems, data, and workflows, and tighten it into one stack that actually works together.
An Extension of Your Team
We embed with your team, learn how you actually operate, and lead technical decisions from the inside, not from a slide deck on the sidelines.
Build-vs-Buy Clarity
For every decision, we help you weigh building in-house versus buying off the shelf versus automating, so you spend budget where it compounds.
Vendor & Tool Selection
We evaluate vendors and platforms with you, negotiate the right fit, and keep you off tools that lock you in or slow you down.
Technical Roadmap
We own the technical roadmap alongside you, sequencing what to build, when, and why so engineering effort stays pointed at business outcomes.
Team Mentorship & Hiring
We mentor the people you already have and help you scope, interview, and hire the technical roles you need next.
What You Walk Away With
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Fractional CTO actually do?
A Fractional CTO is a Chief Technology Officer who works with your business part-time. We provide the same senior technical leadership a full-time CTO would, optimizing your technology, owning the roadmap, guiding build-vs-buy and tooling decisions, and mentoring your team, at a fraction of the cost and commitment.
Who is a Fractional CTO right for?
Founders, small teams, and growing businesses that are making real technology decisions but do not yet need, or cannot yet justify, a full-time CTO. If you are choosing tools, weighing what to build, or scaling a technical team without a senior technical voice in the room, this is for you.
How is this different from one-off consulting?
We are an embedded extension of your team, not advice on the side. We learn how you actually work, take ownership of technical decisions, and stay accountable for outcomes over time, not just a report and a handshake.
Do you work with businesses nationwide?
Yes. While we are Austin-based, we serve clients across the United States through remote collaboration, with on-site visits when it helps.
