What does a CTO as a Service package look like?

An effective CTO will help your team make the right strategic technology decisions to meet your business objectives and keep your customers and clients satisfied. The decisions are different depending where you are in your product development. Decisions made during prototyping, MVP, and scaling to a larger product are all very important.

What role will the CTO play in my organization?

Although a CTO’s specific responsibilities will vary from organization to organization, general duties include, developing and overseeing short-term and long-range technology strategies to ensure the organization’s business objectives are met, the right technology decisions are made, and risks are identified and managed. CTOs are also responsible for maintaining organizational technology standards and adhering to compliance policies, while managing development teams and supervising product architecture. Other duties include leading DevOps teams, budgeting MVP projects, and managing QA, product testing, and cybersecurity.

What are your monthly tiers?

We offer tiered pricing to customize what your company needs to meet its objectives. We currently offer five, 10, 20, or 40 hours a month. All of our packages are tailored to help your organization reach its goals.

 All tiers include an unlimited Slack chat for quick questions or to connect to us.

 

Would you take equity instead of a monthly fee?

We do not take equity. Offering a low monthly fee, compared to the cost of hiring a full time CTO, is better for your business in the long term as you should preserve your equity as long as possible.

Please note, we do believe there are some situations where taking an equity stake makes sense for both of us. As such, we plan to offer an equity option in the future.
