Build Your digital product with a Fractional CTO by Your Side

My subscription model offers predictable weekly progress with clear expectations. Unlike traditional hourly models where costs can spiral, you'll pay a fixed monthly fee for a defined number of development tasks with Fractional CTO services for SME's and solopreneurs. This approach eliminates scope creep while still allowing flexibility to adapt your product as you learn from users.

Yes! I understand startup development isn't always linear. You can pause your subscription anytime - for example, when you need time to gather user feedback or during fundraising periods. When you're ready to continue development, simply resume your subscription and I'll pick up where I left off.

You can temporarily upgrade to a higher tier for months when you need additional capacity. This provides flexibility for sprints or important launch periods. After that intense period, you can downgrade to your regular tier. This scalability ensures you only pay for the capacity you need.

I utilize Ruby on Rails for backend development and Tailwind CSS for frontend, creating a perfect balance of development speed and scalability. These technologies enable rapid feature deployment while maintaining code quality. Since these are widely used frameworks, you'll never be locked in - there are thousands of developers who can work with this stack if needed in the future. All as part of my Fractional CTO services for SME's and solopreneurs.

Subscriptions are billed monthly with no long-term contracts required. I offer a 10% discount for quarterly commitments (3 months paid upfront). All plans require the first month paid upfront. After that, you'll be billed automatically on the same day each month for as long as you want to continue service.

Absolutely! I offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on your first month. If you're not completely satisfied with the quality of work or my process within the first 30 days, I'll refund your payment in full. I believe in building trust through results, and this guarantee demonstrates my confidence in delivering value from day one. No questions asked, no complicated processes.

Minor revisions and bug fixes to recently completed tasks are included in your subscription. For larger changes or new functionality for previously completed features, you would add these as new tasks to your backlog. This ensures continuous improvement while maintaining clear expectations about what's included.

The equity partnership is designed for SME's and solopreneurs who are ready to bring on a Fractional CTO but want to preserve cash. Here's a detailed breakdown:

• What You Get: Up to 10 tasks per month, weekly strategy calls, pitch deck and fundraising support, architecture planning, and technical mentorship from your Fractional CTO for SME's and solopreneurs.
• Legal Structure: I use a standard SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) or equivalent document that protects both parties. All IP is owned by your company from day one, even with Fractional CTO services for SME's and solopreneurs.
• Commitment: 6-month minimum engagement to ensure enough time to build meaningful value. The partnership can be extended beyond the initial term by mutual agreement.
• Exit Strategy: Clear terms for scenarios like acquisition, additional funding rounds, or if either party needs to end the relationship.

Our equity model aligns our success with yours. If your SME or solopreneur business thrives, we both win. This creates a deeper level of commitment than a simple service provider relationship, and is the core of my Fractional CTO services for SME's and solopreneurs.

After initial onboarding, all communication is handled asynchronously through Trello boards. This approach allows me to focus development time on actually building your product, keeping prices significantly lower than traditional agencies. You'll track progress in real-time through your Trello board, with daily updates and clear task status. Asynchronous communication also ensures smooth progress across different time zones. Note: The MVP Pro plan includes one weekly meeting to discuss progress and strategy.

Absolutely. You retain 100% ownership of all code and intellectual property developed during your Fractional CTO subscription for SME's and solopreneurs. When you begin your subscription, you'll receive access to the GitHub repository where your code lives. This ensures complete transparency and means you'll always have full access to your project, even if you decide to pause or cancel your subscription.

The easiest way to reach us is through our chat bot available on every page. Just click the chat icon and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. You can also schedule a call through my calendar if you prefer a more in-depth conversation.
