CTO-as-a-Service
Strategic Tech Leadership, Team Coaching, Interim Support
You need an experienced CTO, not the costs of a permanent position.
Sparring at eye level
- When making strategic tech decisions, someone is thinking who has experienced the consequences in their own projects for over 15 years.
Speed instead of recruiting risk
- A CTO search takes six to twelve months. We can start in two weeks and bridge the gap until your desired hire is there.
Hands-on instead of slides
- We do code reviews, participate in architecture workshops, hold 1:1s with your tech leads, and write code ourselves if necessary. We work where decisions are actually made.
Clear handover
- We work towards not being needed anymore at some point. You get documented decisions and a tech lead who continues without us.
You get well-founded tech decisions and a healthy team without having to create a C-level position.

When is CTO-as-a-Service worthwhile?
Typical situations where we come in.
Before the tech hire
You are looking for a CTO. Months pass before he arrives. We bridge the gap and sharpen the profile for the position with you.
After the Series A
Team and requirements suddenly grow faster than the architecture. We bring in structure before technical debt becomes a hindrance.
Before a major refactoring
An important architecture decision is pending. We bring experience from comparable projects and know the pitfalls.
When the CTO fails
In case of illness or sudden resignation, we step in. We keep the machine running and hand over cleanly to the successor later.
