Embedded Technical Leadership

Fractional AI & Automation CTO

Weekly strategy sessions. Architecture reviews. Team training. Two active projects at a time — $7,500/mo, pause or cancel anytime.

Who This Is For

The Fractional CTO tier is designed for companies that need automation leadership without committing to a full-time executive hire.

Scaling Companies ($5M-$50M)

You need automation leadership but aren’t ready for a $250K+ full-time hire. Get strategic direction and execution from day one.

Teams Drowning in Manual Work

Your 5-20 person team spends hours on repetitive tasks. You know automation would help, but nobody has time to architect it.

Founders Who Want AI Strategy

You see competitors using AI and automation but don’t know where to start. You need a technical leader, not another SaaS tool.

Teams Hitting Architectural Limits

You’re already using n8n, Make, or Zapier but your workflows are brittle, undocumented, and breaking under scale.

What You Get

Everything included in your $7,500/mo subscription. No hidden fees, no per-project charges.

Two Active Projects

Two automation projects running in parallel at all times. When one ships, the next in your queue starts immediately.

Unlimited Queued Requests

Add as many automation requests as you want. We’ll prioritize and work through them continuously.

Weekly Strategy Sessions

Dedicated time each week to review progress, align priorities, and plan upcoming automation initiatives.

Architecture & Vendor Reviews

Before you buy another tool or commit to a platform, get an expert assessment of fit, cost, and integration complexity.

Team Training & Enablement

Your team learns to manage and extend the automations we build. No black boxes, no vendor lock-in.

Direct Slack Channel Access

A private Slack channel with your fractional CTO. Ask questions, share ideas, and get guidance in real time.

Same-Day Response Guarantee

Every message gets a same-day response. No waiting days for answers on critical technical decisions.

Full Ownership of Everything Built

Every workflow, integration, and system we build is yours. Full documentation, full access, zero lock-in.

How It Works

From subscription to embedded CTO in days, not months.

1

Subscribe & Onboard

Kickoff call to understand your business, audit existing workflows, and build a prioritized automation roadmap. We identify the highest-impact projects and get started the same week.

2

Build & Lead

Two active projects running at all times. Weekly strategy sessions, architecture decisions, team training, and hands-on building. You get a technical leader embedded in your operations.

3

Scale & Optimize

As automations go live, we monitor performance, iterate on results, and continuously move through your request queue. Your operations get stronger every month.

Full-Time CTO vs. Fractional CTO

Get the same strategic leadership at a fraction of the cost, with zero long-term commitment.
