Senior tech leadership for founders who can't afford a full-time CTO yet.
Three ways to work with us. All start with a 20-minute call. No applications, no gatekeeping.
20 years. 500+ ventures. 15+ SaaS products we built and still operate. Led by Shahar Albag, currently an active CTO at a US startup.
Fractional CTO
I sit in your leadership team 4–8 hours a week. I run tech strategy, hiring, and architecture decisions so you can focus on the rest of the business.
Best For
Pre-seed to seed founders, non-technical, post-MVP, hiring or scaling engineers.
$4,800/mo
See Fractional CTO →Tech Co-Founder
For pre-product founders without a technical partner. I help shape the product, hire the first engineer, and stay involved through the first 12 months.
Best For
Pre-MVP founders with funding (or about to raise) and no technical co-founder.
Tech Delivery Squad
Fractional CTO plus a dedicated engineering team from our 20-year delivery network. One contract, one point of contact, full stack.
Best For
Founders who've been burned by agencies and want senior leadership accountable for the engineering output.
$12,000/mo
See Tech Delivery Squad →How a typical engagement runs
20-min intro call.
I learn your stage, stack, and biggest tech anxiety.
Written proposal in 48 hours.
Scope, deliverables, monthly retainer, kill clauses.
Two-week trial sprint.
You see how I work before committing to a longer engagement.
Month-to-month from there.
30-day notice either way. No long contracts.
What I won't do
I won't take on more than 6 fractional clients at once. If I'm full, I'll tell you and refer you to someone good.
I won't promise to be your CTO 'for life.' Most founders should hire a full-time CTO around Series A. My job is to get you there and hand off cleanly.
I don't do hourly billing. Monthly retainers only. Hourly billing makes me optimize for hours, not outcomes.
I won't pretend my engineering team is in Miami. The senior strategy is US/Israel. The execution is India. I'll introduce you to the team leads.
Frequently asked questions
Is this just consulting, or do you actually build things?
We build things. If you need engineering execution, our Tech Delivery Squad pairs fractional CTO leadership with dedicated engineering resources.
How is this different from hiring a junior CTO full-time?
A junior CTO learns on your dime and often struggles with architecture scaling. You get 20 years of experience with us, avoiding the costly mistakes of a first-time leader.
What happens if I outgrow the fractional model?
That's the goal. When you reach Series A and need a full-time CTO, we help you hire, vet, and smoothly transition leadership to them.
Can you replace my existing dev agency?
Yes. We often take over from failing agencies, stabilize the codebase, and manage a new squad to deliver predictably.
Do you sign NDAs before the intro call?
We don't need to discuss proprietary IP on the first call. If we decide to proceed to a written proposal, we are happy to sign an NDA.
What stage do most of your clients raise at after working with you?
Many of our clients successfully raise Seed or Series A rounds after we stabilize their tech and prove the product's scalability.
