An embedded CTO without the full-time burn
For funded founders, post-Series A scaleups, and operators inheriting a technical team. We set strategy, hire, and ship alongside your engineers.
A Fractional CTO from APLINDO is more than an advisor. We're in your Slack, your standups, your roadmap reviews, and (when needed) your codebase. We measure ourselves on outcomes — shipped roadmap, hired team, raised round.
Advisor
2 days a month. Roadmap reviews, hiring panels, vendor selection, board prep.
Embedded
1 day a week. Architecture, hiring plan, technical hiring, and weekly engineering reviews.
Scale
2-3 days a week. Full CTO function for pre-Series B teams between full-time hires.
What you'll get
- 12-week roadmap aligned to business goals
- Hiring plan, JDs, and interview loops
- Investor-grade engineering update each month
- On-call senior judgment when it matters
