Fractional CTO for founders, SMEs, and scale-ups

Senior technology leadership without the cost or commitment of a permanent CTO.

Unlike purely advisory CTOs, Provolve can also design, build, deploy, and hand over production systems where hands-on delivery is required.

Good-fit situations

  • You need a technical strategy before hiring a team.
  • Your current platform is slowing down delivery.
  • You are unsure whether to rebuild, refactor, or replace.
  • Developers, agencies, or vendors need stronger technical oversight.
  • Investors, partners, or customers are asking hard technical questions.
  • You need someone who can speak to both the board and the engineers.
  • You need practical leadership from someone who still understands the code.

What the engagement can include

  • CTO advisory
  • Architecture and platform review
  • Engineering roadmap
  • Product technical strategy
  • Supplier and vendor management
  • Hiring and team structure
  • Delivery planning
  • Technical due diligence
  • Security and compliance review
  • Hands-on prototyping or development where needed
