Start a ConversationFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ) related to Technical Co-Founder as a Service
Why not just hire a freelance developer?
A freelancer executes tasks. We provide strategic leadership. We don’t just build what you ask for; we challenge your assumptions, design a scalable architecture, and manage the entire technical side of the business, just like a real co-founder would.
Do you take equity in our company?
No. This is a service-based engagement, which is our key differentiator. You get the leadership and expertise of a technical co-founder without giving up valuable equity, preserving your cap table for future key hires and investors.
What happens when we are ready to hire a full-time CTO?
That is our goal! We help you define the CTO role, vet candidates, and then conduct a thorough, documented handover of the technology, processes, and roadmap. We set your new leader up for success.
How are you different from a technical advisor?
Advisors give advice. We do the work. We are hands-on leaders who not only create the strategy but also manage the team and write code to build and launch your product.
How much does this service cost?
Our service is a monthly retainer, which is a predictable operational expense. It is significantly less than the fully-loaded cost of a senior full-time CTO and eliminates the immense risk and expense of a bad senior hire.
How much of your time do we get?
This is a fractional engagement. You get the benefit of senior-level expertise without the full-time cost. We dedicate a significant portion of our time each week to your project, covering strategic meetings, development management, and hands-on work.
Who is this service a perfect fit for?
This service is ideal for non-technical founders or early-stage startups that have a validated idea and seed funding, but lack the technical leadership to build an investable MVP and hire an engineering team.
What if we need to pivot our product idea during development?
Pivots are a natural part of the startup journey. Because we operate with an agile methodology and are deeply involved in the strategy, we can help you navigate this. We’ll reassess the roadmap and architecture to support the new direction quickly and efficiently.
