Who Is Technical Consulting Best For?
- Non-technical founders who need a trusted technical advisor
- Companies evaluating build vs. buy decisions
- Teams needing architecture reviews or code audits
- Organizations planning a major technology migration or modernization
What You'll Need to Get Started
Prerequisites
- Current tech stack documentation or inventory
- Business goals for the next 12 months
- Team org chart (who reports to whom)
- List of existing technical challenges or blockers
Timeline & Effort
Timeline: 1-2 weeks onboarding and technical assessment; ongoing 10-25 hours/month
Effort: Free 30-minute discovery call, then 90-day roadmap with clear milestones
Common Issues & Solutions
Team resistance to new technical direction
Start with quick wins that demonstrate value before proposing larger changes. Build trust through results.
Scope creep beyond initial engagement
The 90-day roadmap defines boundaries. We revisit scope quarterly and adjust based on business priorities.
Unclear when to transition to a full-time CTO
We help define the trigger: typically when engineering team exceeds 8-10 people or Series B funding is secured.
How This Helps Your Role
For Founders
Need technical leadership but cannot justify a $250K+ full-time CTO salary
Strategic CTO leadership at 10-25 hours/month — a fraction of the cost with the same caliber of guidance.
For Ops Managers
Vendor management overload and no technical voice in purchasing decisions
Technical due diligence on vendors, contract review, and architecture decisions backed by experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a technology audit?
A technology audit covers your current stack, architecture, code quality, security posture, performance, and scalability. You get a written report with prioritized recommendations and a roadmap.
Can you help us choose the right tech stack?
Yes. We evaluate your requirements, team capabilities, budget, and timeline to recommend a stack that fits. We don't push specific tools — we recommend what's right for your situation.
Do you offer CTO-as-a-service?
Yes. For startups and SMBs that need senior technical leadership without a full-time hire, we offer ongoing advisory retainers that cover architecture decisions, team guidance, vendor evaluation, and technical strategy.
