Fractional Technical Partnership
Senior technical leadership without the full-time commitment.
Most growing businesses reach a point where technical decisions become strategically important - and where making the wrong ones becomes increasingly expensive. A fractional technical partner provides the senior leadership to navigate that moment without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire.
What's included
Our fractional technical partnership is a monthly engagement that covers the full scope of senior technical leadership.
- Technical architecture definition and ongoing review
- Product and engineering roadmap development
- Engineering team leadership, mentorship, and code review
- Technology vendor selection and management
- Technical due diligence preparation for investment or acquisition
- Weekly strategic meetings and async availability
- Hiring support for technical roles
- AI strategy and implementation guidance
Who this is for
Fractional technical partnership works best for businesses in one of three situations: early-stage startups that need architectural guidance before decisions become expensive to reverse; growing companies without a technical co-founder or senior engineer; and businesses preparing for investment or acquisition who need to demonstrate technical maturity.
How it differs from hiring
A full-time technical executive carries a significant salary, benefits, and equity commitment. A fractional engagement provides senior strategic depth at a fraction of that cost, with the flexibility to adjust the scope as your business evolves.
Pricing
Fractional technical partnerships are structured as monthly engagements, giving your business consistent access to senior technical leadership without the commitment of a full-time executive hire.
