Fractional CTO

Executive-level technical leadership embedded in your business within 1 week—at 20% the cost of a full-time hire.

Stop making million-dollar technology decisions by committee or gut feel. Get a CTO who’s built and scaled before, who integrates with your team, and who’s accountable to your outcomes—without the $300K+ salary, equity dilution, or 6-month executive search.

Sound Familiar?

If any of this hits home, we should talk.

You’re a non-technical founder making technical decisions you’re not qualified to make
Your board or investors are asking technical questions you can’t confidently answer
Your dev team has no senior technical leader—so they’re guessing on architecture and priorities
You can’t afford (or don’t need) a $300K+/year full-time CTO
You hired a ‘technical co-founder’ who’s great at coding but terrible at strategy and leadership

You don't have to live with these problems. Here's exactly how we solve each one. ↓

What You Get

Named deliverables. Not vague promises.

Every solution bundle is designed to be specific enough that you can hold us accountable—and valuable enough that you'd feel foolish saying no.

Discovery Phase

The 7-Day Tech Assessment

A comprehensive audit of your technology, team, processes, and technical debt—delivered as an executive-ready report with prioritized recommendations and a 90-day action plan.

Ongoing Engagement

Embedded CTO Leadership

A seasoned CTO embedded in your business—attending leadership meetings, mentoring your engineering team, making architecture decisions, and aligning tech with business goals. Up to 5 meetings + 2 office hours per month.

Fundraising Ready

The Investor-Ready Tech Stack

Technical due diligence preparation, architecture documentation, security compliance, and board-ready reporting—everything you need to pass technical scrutiny during fundraising.

Bonus

CTO Succession Blueprint

When you’re ready for a full-time CTO, we help you write the job spec, vet candidates, design the interview process, and onboard your new hire—ensuring a seamless transition.

Time to Value

You'll see results fast.

We set clear milestones from day one so you always know where things stand and what's coming next.

Day 1-7

Tech Assessment delivered — you finally know the real state of your technology

Month 1

Engineering velocity measurably improves — your team ships faster with clearer direction

The Impact-or-Free Guarantee

If your team doesn’t report measurable improvement in engineering velocity and technical clarity within 30 days, your first month is free. We eat the cost, not you.

"Within two weeks of engaging Muse, our engineering team had clear priorities for the first time in a year. We closed our Series A three months later—and the investors cited our technical leadership as a key factor."
