Fractional CTO Services

Get C-level engineering, product, and security leadership without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. Jimmlr's fractional CTO advisory pairs senior judgment with real engineering data, so your technology decisions are grounded in evidence — not opinion.

Is this you?

• Your founding or executive team lacks senior technical leadership.
• You can't yet justify a $300K–$400K full-time CTO package.
• You're raising, being acquired, or going through diligence and need credible technical cover.
• Engineering is scaling faster than your leadership and process can keep up.
• You need someone accountable for architecture, security, and delivery — not just advice.

What's included

• Monthly strategic advisory sessions with your leadership team
• Technology strategy and roadmap aligned to business goals
• Architecture and build-vs-buy decision support
• Security posture, governance, and compliance guidance (SOC 2, NIST, ISO)
• AI strategy — where it creates real leverage and where it doesn't
• Engineering org design, senior hiring, and team coaching
• Board and investor reporting, with objective metrics
• Quarterly technology assessment refresh and continuous metrics monitoring

$5,000 – $15,000 / month, scaled to your needs

How it works

1. Discovery & baseline. We start with a short assessment that pulls real metrics from your tools to establish where you stand.
2. Plan. You get a prioritized roadmap tied to business outcomes, with clear ownership.
3. Operate. Ongoing advisory, decision support, and reporting on a monthly cadence.
4. Refresh. Quarterly re-assessment keeps the plan honest as you scale.
