Start with 24 hours of education, then two hours CTO services per day for three months. Add education and mentoring as needed.
Dedicated part-time CTO and senior mentoring service designed specifically for startups whose development teams consist mainly of junior developers (often fresh graduates).
Why startups choose this service
- Junior teams inevitably introduce costly architectural mistakes, technical debt, and security issues that are hard and expensive to fix later.
- Without experienced guidance, basic decisions about tech stack, code structure, testing practices, CI/CD, scalability, and security are often made incorrectly — jeopardizing the entire product and future funding rounds.
- Hiring a full-time senior CTO or staff engineers is usually too expensive or premature at seed/early stage.
What we deliver
- An experienced CTO works hands-on with the team 8–20 hours per week (flexible).
- Direct code reviews, architecture decisions, security audits, and infrastructure setup.
- Weekly mentoring sessions and pair-programming to transfer best practices.
- Structured onboarding of new juniors and continuous education tracks (clean code, testing, system design, DevOps, etc.).
- Establishment of professional processes (code reviews, definition of done, sprint planning, automated testing, monitoring) without bureaucracy.
- Risk reduction: we catch and correct critical mistakes early, before they become embedded debt.
Result: the team ships production-grade, maintainable code faster, avoids expensive rewrites, and reaches product-market fit with a solid technical foundation — all while keeping burn rate low and preserving equity. Ideal for seed to Series A startups that already have their first developers but need professional leadership to grow confidently.
