Partial CTO Services
Fractional Technical Leadership

Senior CTO-level guidance without the full-time commitment — available on a retainer or project basis. Covers engineering team structuring, architecture decisions, build-vs-buy trade-offs, hiring technical talent, and bridging the communication gap between founders and engineering.

Technology Due Diligence
M&A & Investment Advisory

Independent assessment of a target company's technical assets, architecture, engineering team, and accumulated debt — for investors, acquirers, or founders preparing for a raise or exit. Business judgement applied alongside technical depth, so findings translate directly into deal terms and post-close priorities.

Strategy Health Check
Critical Review

An independent audit of your company's technology strategy — surfacing hidden risks, misaligned priorities, and costly blind spots before they become production incidents or missed opportunities. Delivered as a clear, actionable report for leadership and engineering teams.
