About this Gig
Vetted Pro
Hiring a full-time CTO before you've validated the product is a mistake. So is building without one. A fractional technical co-founder gives you senior engineering judgement when you need it, without the equity conversation or the £150k salary.
I'm a technical founder (Pare Studio) with 10+ years of experience including a Head of Data Science role at a logistics startup. I've made the decisions you're facing stack, architecture, hiring, technical debt, when to build vs buy.
What you get:
- A senior technical partner who actually codes, not just advises
- Strategy: stack choice, architecture, build vs buy, scaling decisions
- Hands-on work where you need it most
- Hiring support: JDs, technical interviews, first-engineer decisions
- Investor support: technical diligence prep, due-diligence-ready documentation
- Weekly calls and async availability
Best for: non-technical founders, solo founders pre-Series A, founders between CTOs.
Before ordering, message me with your stage, what you're building, and what you need most right now. First call is free to check fit.

FAQ
What stage are your services best suited to?
Pre-seed and seed stage. I can add value later but the highest leverage is early decisions.
Do you write code, or just advise?
Both. Standard and Premium include hands-on engineering hours.
Can you replace a CTO?
For a period, yes — I've led data/engineering functions before. For scale beyond 8–10 engineers you'll want a full-time hire; I'll help you find them.
What's the difference between this and MVP Development?
This is ongoing partnership with strategic input. The MVP gig is a fixed-scope build. Many founders start with the MVP and add this after.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes, before any specifics are shared.
