CTO decisions
at a part-time price.
You have developers shipping and a product that is growing, but nobody senior to decide the architecture, the security or the next hire. A full-time CTO is a big salary to commit to this early. We take that role for 8 to 12 hours a week. Our founder, Serge Radkevics, has done the job before: CTO at MortgageBloc, Tech Lead at Ember and TribeIRL.
- Ongoing
- 8 to 12 hours a week
- Lisbon time
How it works
Discovery
Week 1
We spend the first week in your code, your team and your numbers. We talk to the people who ship, read the codebase and hand you a 90-day priority list you can show your board.
In the room
Every week
We work 8 to 12 hours a week on Lisbon time. You get a standing 1:1 and architecture decisions as they come up. We run the hiring loops and security reviews, and keep an AI roadmap that says where to spend and where to wait.
Step back
Every quarter
We review the roadmap with you and decide what to build and what to buy. Before a raise we prepare the technical story for investors, and we size the hiring plan to what you can afford.
What's included
- Architecture and infrastructure decisions, with the reasoning written down
- An AI roadmap covering what to build, buy or leave alone
- Security and EU AI Act oversight
- Hiring: job specs, interview loops and the first senior hire
- A weekly 1:1, plus code review where a bug would cost you customers
- The technical story investors ask for before a raise
