The Challenge
A proptech startup's founding CTO departed shortly after their Series A raise. The 8-person engineering team needed leadership during a critical growth phase, but hiring a permanent CTO would take 4-6 months. Product commitments to investors couldn't wait.
Our Approach
We placed a fractional CTO within one week. They immediately stabilised the team, established engineering processes, and created a technology roadmap aligned with the Series A commitments. They also led the search for a permanent CTO, eventually helping to interview and onboard their successor.
The Results
Zero delivery disruption during the transition. Shipped 3 major product milestones on schedule. Engineering team grew from 8 to 14 with strong retention. Permanent CTO hired and onboarded within 4 months with a structured handover.
More Case Studies
National Insurance Provider
A major insurance provider was running critical underwriting systems on ageing on-premise infrastructure. Performance was degrading, costs were escalating, and the platform couldn't support their digital ambitions. Previous migration attempts had stalled due to complexity and risk concerns.

Series B HealthTech
A fast-growing healthtech startup had secured Series B funding and needed to rebuild their MVP into a scalable platform. Their small internal team lacked the capacity for the ambitious 6-month roadmap, and hiring permanent staff fast enough wasn't realistic.
