Three ways to engage — calibrated to your stage.

From a fixed-price readiness audit to embedded executive leadership — aligned to where you are on the journey to $100M+ ARR.

Foundation

Scale-Up Technology Readiness Audit

A fixed-price, three-week diagnostic that assesses whether your platform, team and processes are ready for the next stage of growth.

Who it is for

  • Leadership teams preparing for a funding round or a major commercial milestone
  • Founders and CEOs who need an objective view of technology risk before committing to the next stage of investment
  • Boards and investors seeking independent assurance on a portfolio company's technology posture

Core problem solved

Technology decisions are being made without a clear, evidence-based understanding of where the risks and constraints actually sit. A rigorous, time-boxed assessment de-risks the next 12–24 months of commercial planning.

Key outcomes

  • Full assessment of platform, architecture, team and delivery against commercial objectives
  • Prioritised technology risk register with clear commercial impact
  • Strategic roadmap and investment plan aligned to the next stage of growth
  • Executive readout and board-grade written report

Core Engagement

Fractional CTO Engagement

Ongoing executive technology leadership — accountable for execution, not just advice.

Who it is for

  • Venture-backed companies between $10M and $100M+ ARR without a senior technology leader in place
  • Founders whose technical co-founder needs to step back to focus on product or the next raise
  • Companies bridging the gap between a departing CTO and the next permanent hire

Core problem solved

The engineering function needs experienced executive leadership now — to execute the strategic roadmap, lead the team, and represent technology to the board and investors — without the cost or timeline of a full-time hire.

Key outcomes

  • Executive leadership of the engineering organisation, accountable to the CEO and board
  • Direct management of senior engineering leads and involvement in critical hires
  • Quarterly commercial-technology objectives with transparent reporting
  • Succession plan and structured handover to a permanent CTO when the time is right

Targeted Support

Project-Based Intervention

Focused, time-boxed support for a single high-priority technology challenge.

Who it is for

  • Companies facing a critical re-platform, migration or architecture decision
  • Founders preparing for a fundraise who need a credible pre-raise technology assessment
  • Leadership teams recovering from a major incident or reliability event

Core problem solved

A specific, high-cost technology problem sits between the business and its next stage of growth — and needs senior, opinionated leadership to diagnose it, scope the fix and de-risk execution.

Key outcomes

  • Diagnostic and written assessment grounded in commercial impact
  • Prioritised plan with effort, risk and dependencies made explicit
  • Hands-on involvement through the critical path of execution
  • Clean handover and operating playbook for the team to run with afterwards

Not sure which engagement is right?

A 30-minute, confidential conversation is usually enough to map your challenge to the right shape of engagement — or to confirm I'm not the right person for it.
