We are resident CTOs who join your company to align product, process, and people. We stay just long enough to make a lasting difference.
Clarity, direction, stability.
Our resident CTOs engage across every layer of your organisation: from technology strategy to mentoring your team and managing growth or even defining product vision.
Our resident CTOs engage across every layer of your organisation: from technology strategy to mentoring your team and managing growth, even defining product vision when needed.
They bring clarity, direction, and stability to teams that have outgrown ad-hoc leadership.
Think of us as wartime CTOs: we step in when the pressure is highest, stabilise your software and your team, and prepare the ground for your permanent leadership.
We prepare our exit from day one. Our goal is to bring your organisation to the right level for us to get out again. We also offer CTO Coaching, a separate but related service for existing technology leaders who want a sparring partner to grow into their role.
As startups grow, technical leadership will evolve. You might need an interim CTO to fill a gap, a fractional CTO to provide ongoing strategic guidance, or a hands-on engineering manager to make things work day-to-day.
Our resident CTOs help you make the right technical decisions, design scalable processes, and build teams that deliver with confidence.
They translate complexity into clarity, ensuring that your engineering effort serves your business goals, not the other way around.
You don't call us when everything's fine. You call when clarity, leadership, or alignment are missing. Here are some of the most common reasons SaaS founders and CEOs bring us in, and how we help.
"Our CTO just left."
You've lost a key person, but your product can't stop. We step in as interim CTO, keeping the team stable while you hire. We safeguard product knowledge, reassure investors, and make sure your roadmap stays on track.
"We're scaling faster than our processes."
Growth brings chaos. We bring structure: lightweight processes, better communication, and clear decision-making so your team can grow without breaking.
"Our product is growing, but our team isn't."
We design organisational structures that scale. From job descriptions to onboarding, we help you hire and grow with intent.
"Placeholder for client testimonial. This will be replaced with actual client feedback."
"Investors are worried about technical risk."
We conduct audits, stabilise your codebase, and provide transparent reporting. Investors gain confidence that your product and team are fit to scale.
"We don't know if we're building the right things."
We challenge assumptions, align engineering with user and market realities, and make sure your technical effort drives business value.
"Our founders and engineers aren't aligned."
We bridge the gap between business and technology. Our CTOs translate technical constraints into strategic opportunities and build trust between teams.
"We're dealing with legacy systems nobody fully understands."
We work with our software engineers to map risks, stabilise your architecture, and plan safe, incremental improvements.
"We need more experienced leadership in our tech team."
Your engineers are strong but need direction. Our fractional CTOs provide senior leadership a few days per week, setting priorities, guiding architectural decisions, and coaching your leads.
"We have too many priorities on our roadmap."
We bring focus. Our CTOs define a technical roadmap aligned with your business goals. We make sure the roadmap becomes one that your team can actually deliver.
"We want to prepare for our next funding round."
We ensure your product, team, and technical strategy are investor-ready. You get credibility and confidence in every boardroom conversation.
Our CTOs don't hide behind PowerPoint decks. They join your meetings, talk to your engineers, and roll up their sleeves when needed. They can even be a strong voice by your side in challenging boardroom meetings.
We believe a good CTO should still know what it feels like to dive into code. Every one of our leaders comes from an engineering background.
Our first priority is to build a healthy culture. We start by creating a safe environment where people can speak up. From there, we introduce just enough process to make work flow naturally, not bureaucratically.
We discover what's really holding your team back through structured one-on-ones and retrospectives. Then we fix it, together.
We offer flexible technical leadership tailored to your needs, from interim leadership during transitions to long-term strategic guidance.
When your company is between CTOs or entering a period of change, we take the helm. We keep teams focused, stabilise processes, and make sure your product remains on course. We often help recruit and onboard your next permanent leader.
Part-time, long-term leadership. Ideal for startups and scale-ups that need strategy, alignment, and mentoring without a full-time CTO. We stay involved as long as we add value.
We don't just advise, we can also lead your technical team hands on. Our CTOs often act as interim engineering managers, helping teams adopt better practices, clearer processes, and a culture that supports fast, sustainable delivery.
We also coach founders, tech leads, and new CTOs through our CTO Coaching service. It's a personal, behind-the-scenes engagement where we act as a sounding board for leadership decisions.
We follow a proven methodology to ensure your technical leadership needs are met effectively.
Assess your team, product, and processes.
Identify key risks and opportunities.
Define a roadmap that aligns with your goals.
Build confidence and visibility through better communication.
Mentor your engineers and leads for long-term success.
Plan our exit from the start.
Our CTOs oversee every aspect of modern SaaS product development.
Review, improve, and future-proof your systems.
Assess structure, morale, and processes; introduce better practices.
Ensure the roadmap supports business goals.
Identify technical debt, security gaps, and scaling bottlenecks.
Build strong, self-sufficient teams ready for growth.
After a few months of closely working together, our clients see visible impact:
More predictable delivery and less firefighting.
Clear priorities and smoother communication, not just within the engineering team.
Renewed confidence from investors and team members.
A stronger, more independent engineering culture.
We've acted as interim and fractional CTO for dozens of SaaS companies at critical stages: from rebuilding after founder departures to scaling from Seed to Series B.
The smoothest way to renovate
We advised Impact Us Today on performing a complete software rewrite. The engagement included technical due diligence that revealed outdated PHP infrastructure and legacy code, followed by rebuilding the platform from scratch to achieve clarity, speed, and modern architecture.
Where organisers and audiences find one another
We provided technical leadership and hybrid team support to Publiq, helping them manage a complex event-sourcing-based platform after their original development partner went bankrupt. We modernized infrastructure, upgraded legacy systems, and transferred critical knowledge to their internal team.
One app to run your real estate agency
We helped develop their comprehensive platform through API-first development in PHP/Laravel, enabling real estate agents to manage listings, engage leads, and automate matching. We established the technical team from the ground up with pair programming, code reviews, and comprehensive documentation.
We bridge the gap between strategy and execution. Our CTOs work side by side with engineers, founders, and investors to align everyone around the same goals. We translate complexity into clarity and leave your team stronger than we found it.
An interim CTO leads full-time during transitions. A fractional CTO works part-time but provides long-term strategic leadership and stability.
Usually between 3 and 18 months, depending on your needs. We stay only as long as we add value.
Absolutely. We define the role, support recruitment, and onboard your next hire to ensure a smooth transition.
By clarity, stability, and progress. If your roadmap is clear, your team aligned, and your delivery predictable, we've done our job.
We begin with an honest conversation about your challenges — technical, organisational, or both. From there, we define a scope and embed our CTO to make improvements right away.
We've been helping SaaS founders and teams for over 15 years. Whether you're between CTOs, scaling fast, or just need an experienced technical perspective, we're ready to help. Tell us about your product, your challenges, and what kind of leadership you need.

Outages can strike unexpectedly, impacting businesses and users alike. In this episode of the SaaS Show, hosts Andreas and Sjimi delve into the recent outages experienced by major cloud providers like Amazon and Cloudflare.

Founder & CEO
If you believe what you see on LinkedIn, startups don't need employees anymore, real founders just have agents building their companies. You write a prompt, fire off the agent, and wait for customers. In reality, you get a vague workflow that produces a mediocre demo at best.
