The Problem Development chaos is killing your runway
Broken apps, angry users
Your app breaks and you hear about it from angry users—not your dev team.
Vision lost in translation
What you envisioned isn't what gets built—and nobody can explain why.
Deadlines that slip endlessly
Every "quick fix" takes 3x longer than promised, burning through budget.
Zero visibility into progress
You can't tell if your developers are on track—or even working on the right things.
Sound familiar? You're not alone—and it doesn't have to be this way.
Services We bridge the gap between you and your development team.
High-level technical leadership for software founders who need clarity, accountability, and results. We bring structure to chaos and turn scattered ideas into shipped products.
Ship faster, break less
With clarity into your engineering efforts
-
Fractional CTO. Technical leadership that speaks both engineer and CEO. We translate your vision into actionable roadmaps and hold your team accountable for outcomes.
-
Team optimization. We assess your dev process, eliminate waste, and implement systems that maximize output—so your team delivers what you actually need, when you need it.
-
Product development. From PRDs with success criteria to scoped deployments with QA checks. When your team can't ship fast enough, we step in and execute.
-
Technical clarity. No more wondering if your developers are on track. We provide granular task tracking, progress visibility, and clear communication at every step.
-
Hands-on execution. When your team needs to move faster, we step in with our own engineers to build, ship, and deliver—no excuses, just outcomes.
Our Process The 10ex Method
A proven system to transform development chaos into predictable, high-velocity output.
01
Assess
Uncover bottlenecks, waste, and quick wins hiding in your current process.
02
Align
Create PRDs with clear success criteria so everyone knows what "done" looks like.
03
Accelerate
Implement systems for accountability, task tracking, and continuous delivery.
04
Advance
Ongoing leadership to maintain velocity and adapt as your product evolves.
The No Handoff Model
The traditional agency model relies on a "big reveal" and a clean handoff that rarely works in the messy reality of scaling a software product. We don't believe in handoffs; we believe in continuous delivery and evolving your technical stack as your user base grows. By implementing the 10ex Method, Assess, Align, Accelerate, Advance, we transform your development team from a black box into a transparent, predictable engine. You receive the strategic leadership of a veteran CTO and the execution power of an elite engineering team, all fully integrated into your daily operations.
FAQ Common questions
Everything you need to know about working with us.
- How is this different from hiring a full-time CTO?
- A full-time CTO costs $250K+ annually plus equity, benefits, and recruiting time. We provide the same strategic leadership and accountability at a fraction of the cost, with the flexibility to scale up or down as your needs change.
- Do you replace my dev team or work with them?
- We work with your existing team first—optimizing processes, improving communication, and holding everyone accountable. If your team doesn't have the capacity to work on the roadmap, we can step in with our own engineers to execute.
- What's the minimum engagement?
- We require a 3-month minimum commitment. Real transformation takes time, and we need enough runway to implement systems that create lasting change—not just quick fixes that fall apart when we leave.
- What does the first month look like?
- Month one is our Assess phase. We dive deep into your current processes, interview your team, review your codebase, and deliver a clear roadmap with prioritized recommendations. You'll have complete clarity on what's broken and how to fix it.
- What tech stacks do you work with?
- We work with Elixir, Node.js, Python, Ruby, PHP, and Go—including all major frameworks within these languages. On the front-end, we handle all modern technologies: React, Vue, Svelte, and everything in between.
- How do you work with us?
- Traditional agencies are transactional—they build to scope and move on. We operate as a fractional leadership layer, embedding ourselves directly into your team's Slack, standups, and strategic planning. Instead of managing an external vendor, you gain a technical partner that optimizes your existing resources and stays accountable for the long-term health of your product.
