Software & AI studio · SE Asia & Latin America
A fractional CTO,
with the products already built.
One technical partner for your business: what to build, building it, and running it after launch. We bring our own products, so you don't pay to rebuild the basics.
Start with a two-week diagnostic. Credited to your first month.
What we take on
One technical partner, four jobs.
Strategy
What to build, buy or skip, and in which order.
Build and integrate
Architecture, development and connectors to the tools you already run.
Operate and improve
Hosting, monitoring, costs and a monthly list of what to fix next.
Team and vendors
Choose and manage developers and suppliers, so you are never locked in.
The gap
The usual options each leave something out.
A fractional CTO is a senior technical partner you share instead of hire: they set the strategy, build and integrate, and run what was built, for a monthly retainer instead of a salary.

Full-time CTO
Months of hiring, a senior salary and equity.
Freelancer
Builds by the hour; nobody owns the strategy.
Agency
Per-project builds; running it is an extra contract.
Out of the lab
We don't start from zero.
Every engagement draws on products we already built and run. We license them into your stack, so development takes weeks instead of months and your budget goes to your business.
