A Trusted Advisor, Not a Full-Time Hire
You need someone who can tell you what to build, what to ignore, and how to wire AI into your business — without the $300K+ commitment of a full-time CTO. As your Fractional CTO and AI Strategy Advisor, you get senior technical judgment on demand: architecture reviews, vendor evaluations, team guidance, and hands-on prototyping when it matters.
What's Included
- 2 strategy calls per month (60-90 minutes each)
- Direct Slack access for async questions and quick decisions
- Architecture reviews for new features, integrations, or AI initiatives
- Vendor selection guidance — cut through the noise of AI tools and platforms
- Hands-on prototyping for high-priority technical decisions
Who It's For
Founders who need senior technical guidance without a full-time hire. Whether you're evaluating AI tools, architecting a new product, hiring your first engineer, or navigating a technical pivot — this is your strategic advantage.
Process & Timeline
- Week 1 — Onboarding: Deep-dive into your business, tech stack, and goals. We audit what you have, identify gaps, and create a technical roadmap.
- Week 2+ — Ongoing Advisory: Bi-monthly strategy calls, Slack access, and ad-hoc reviews. We become an embedded part of your decision-making process.
- As Needed — Hands-On Work: When a decision needs a prototype or proof-of-concept, we build it. When a vendor pitch needs technical evaluation, we evaluate it.
Pricing
$5,000 – $12,000/month depending on engagement depth and hands-on requirements.
FAQ
How is this different from a consulting firm?
You're not getting a deck from a junior analyst. You're getting direct access to a senior technologist who knows your business, joins your Slack, and makes decisions with you in real time.
Can you help me hire technical talent?
Yes. We help define roles, write job descriptions, evaluate candidates, and structure technical interviews. We can also manage freelancers and agencies on your behalf.
Do you write code?
When it matters. Prototyping, proof-of-concepts, and architecture spikes are part of the engagement. For production development, we'll help you build or hire the right team.
What industries do you work with?
Our deepest expertise is in DTC/e-commerce, fashion, beauty, and B2B SaaS. But the advisory model works for any founder navigating technical decisions and AI adoption.
