You're a capable founder, but you shouldn't be the one evaluating architecture decisions, vetting developers, or trying to decode what your tech team is actually telling you.
That's not a gap in your abilities; it's a gap in your org chart.
I'm a Fractional CTO for non-technical founders: the person who owns the tech side of your business so you can focus on running it. Whether you're starting from zero or inheriting a team you can't fully evaluate, I step in as your technical leader. Not only that, I'm someone you can put in front of your team and customers.
That means defining what you actually need to build, sourcing and hiring the right people, putting the processes in place to build it correctly the first time, and managing the team day to day. Most of my work is this kind of engagement; hands-on and ongoing, not consulting from the sidelines.
15+ years across eCommerce, PropTech, Health Tech, and Manufacturing. The bottleneck is almost never the code.
What this looks like:
- Building from scratch: product definition, team sourcing, hiring, process setup, and full buildout leadership.
- Taking over the wheel: auditing what exists, replacing or reorienting the team, getting you out of the middle.
- If you just need judgment on tap, no hands-on execution, or a bounded engagement like an audit, a first hire, or a process fix, those are options too.
