Scope of work

Everything a CTO does. Minus the overhead.

Technical Architecture

Design the system before development starts. Stack selection, data modeling, infrastructure planning. Built to grow without a rewrite.

Engineering Hiring

Write job specs, screen candidates, and run technical interviews. You hire engineers who can actually ship. Not just LeetCode-passers.

Code Review & QA

Review every PR for security issues, performance regressions, and architectural drift. Nothing ships that shouldn't.

Technical Roadmap

Translate business goals into engineering milestones. Every sprint moves the business forward, not just keeping engineers occupied.

Vendor Evaluation

Evaluate tools, APIs, and vendors before you're locked in. Buy vs. build decisions based on your actual constraints, not trend reports.

Investor Communication

Prepare due diligence answers. Help VCs understand what you built. Give them the technical confidence to write the check.

Engagement flow

How we work together.

01

Kickoff

Full review of your product, codebase, team structure, and 90-day goals.
