A CTO without a full-time hire
Work starts with a free technical assessment: in 5 days we review your architecture, code and team processes, and you get a written plan for the quarter, before any contract or prepayment. The format starts at 20 hours a month for $3,900/month, while a full-time CTO costs a six-figure salary plus taxes and bonuses, and finding one takes 3–6 months. A common first task is choosing a technology stack before a product launch.
Proof with numbers, not role descriptions: we took a payment platform MVP to demo day in 3.5 months, the startup closed its seed round, and investors ran real transactions right in the meeting. The ERP/FSM platform for a US field service company has been run since 2019 by the same people who designed it, and the client's revenue has tripled. The ERP modernization for an auto parts distributor comes from our CTO's portfolio: dealers now place 70% of their orders online on their own. Price ranges for all our services are on the development pricing page.
Honest alternatives. If you need a one-time diagnosis rather than ongoing support, take IT consulting: an audit, a report, a plan, and we part ways. If you're short on hands rather than decisions, you need a dedicated development team. If the product is stable and just needs someone keeping an eye on it, that's technical support. If you think hiring in-house is cheaper, we'll run both scenarios with your numbers on the first call. How to choose a vendor and accept their work is covered in our article on choosing a software development vendor.
