Common Challenges
Sound familiar?
These are the situations that a Fractional CTO solves — without the six-figure hiring process.
Non-technical founder
You have a great product vision but no engineering background. Vendors and developers tell you whatever they like.
Tech debt spiralling
Your codebase has grown faster than your team's discipline. Every new feature takes twice as long as it should.
Scaling the team
You need to hire engineers but don't know how to screen them, structure the team, or set the right standards.
Investor due diligence
Investors are asking hard questions about your architecture, security, and technical roadmap. You need credible answers fast.
Service Scope
What your Fractional CTO delivers
Every engagement is tailored to your stage and goals. At minimum you get senior strategic oversight — at full scale you get the complete CTO function, ready to hand over when you hire permanently.

FAQ
Common questions
How is this different from hiring a consultant?
A consultant delivers a report and leaves. As your Fractional CTO we stay embedded in your business — attending standups, joining team calls, and owning the technical strategy week to week.
Do I need to have engineers already?
No. We work with founders at all stages — from "I have no tech team yet" to "I have 30 engineers and need leadership structure".
Can I pair this with your development services?
Yes, and it works exceptionally well. Your Fractional CTO can oversee Prodevel's development team directly, giving you one coherent technical voice.
What if I need to pause or cancel?
After the initial 3-month commitment, agreements run month-to-month with 30 days' notice to pause or cancel.
Is this available outside London?
Fully remote delivery for all tiers. In-person sessions in London are available on request for Growth and Scale clients.
