A fractional CTO,
without the hire
You have technical decisions to make but no CTO to guide you. A senior tech expert works with you each month to structure your strategy, avoid costly mistakes, and move forward with clarity.

You need a CTO, but not full-time
Hiring a CTO is expensive
A full-time CTO costs £100K+ per year minimum. Plus months of recruitment and the risk of a bad hire.
Your tech projects are stalling
Without technical leadership, your projects drift. Decisions are made day by day, without strategy.
No technical vision
You're making technology decisions without expertise. Which stack to choose? How to structure the team? Which vendors to trust?
You don't know where to start
Which technology? Hire a developer or use an agency? How to structure the project? Without a tech adviser, every decision is a gamble.
A senior CTO, twice a month
17 years of experience in development and technical leadership. We meet twice a month over video, and between sessions you have a clear action plan.
Strategic sessions
2 sessions of 2 hours per month on video. We work on your tech strategy, architecture choices, and product roadmap.
Concrete deliverables
After each session: a written summary and action plan. You know exactly what to do and in what order.
No commitment
Month to month. If it's no longer adding value, you stop. No annual contract, no notice period.
The first month starts with a full audit of your technical situation: existing setup, needs, risks, opportunities. You leave with a clear, prioritised tech roadmap.
What we help you with
Technical audit
Assessment of your situation: existing code, infrastructure, processes. We identify risks and priorities.
Product roadmap
Structuring your project into clear stages. What to build first, what to postpone, what not to build at all.
Technology choices
Which stack, which architecture, which tools. Recommendations based on your context, not on trends.
Vendor evaluation
Receiving quotes from developers? We analyse them together. We spot the red flags and the good choices.
Hiring preparation
Job descriptions, evaluation grids, technical interviews. To recruit your future CTO or first developers.
Bridge to execution
When you're ready to build, we move to action with 5000.dev (block at €5,000) or 5000.dev Studio (unlimited dev at €5,000/month).
