CTO Consulting Services & Pricing
Common technical challenges that require expert CTO leadership
No Technical Leadership
You have developers but no one to set technology strategy, make architecture decisions, or communicate technical status to investors. Your development team needs strategic direction and your business needs technical credibility.
Scaling and Performance Issues
Your application is experiencing slowdowns, outages are increasing, or the system can't handle user growth. You need expert guidance to scale infrastructure and optimize architecture before it becomes a business-critical crisis.
Can't Afford Full-Time CTO
Full-time CTOs cost €150,000-300,000 annually plus 1-5% equity. You need executive-level technical leadership but don't have the budget or aren't ready for equity dilution and long-term executive commitment.
Investor Due Diligence
VCs and angel investors require independent technical assessment before Series A or Series B funding. You need credible third-party evaluation of technology, team capabilities, and scalability to close funding rounds successfully.
No Technology Roadmap
Development feels chaotic without clear priorities, strategy, or long-term vision. You need a concrete 6-12 month technology roadmap aligned with business goals, realistic timelines, and budget constraints.
Technical Crisis Situation
Your CTO left suddenly, experienced a major security breach, or a critical project failed. You need immediate expert intervention to stabilize operations, retain team members, and restore stakeholder confidence.
