Fractional CTO & Advisory
Technology Leadership.
Without the Full-Time Overhead.
Strategic technology direction for your business. Architecture decisions, vendor evaluation, team structure, and a roadmap that actually gets executed. You also get a partner embedded with the team to build what we recommend, not just hand off a plan.
Who This Is For
You Need Technology Leadership. But Not Full-Time.
We fill that gap. Senior technology leadership on your schedule, without the $250K+ salary, the six-month search, or the risk of hiring the wrong person.
Founders Scaling Past the First Build
You shipped a v1. Maybe with a freelancer or small agency. Now you need someone to set the technical direction for what comes next. That shouldn't mean hiring a $300K executive.
Non-Technical CEOs Making Tech Decisions
You're evaluating vendors, approving budgets, and making architectural bets. But technology isn't your background. A trusted advisor who speaks both business and engineering is what you need.
Ops Leaders Driving Digital Transformation
You see the opportunity to automate and modernize. You need someone who can assess what's possible, build the roadmap, and make sure it actually gets implemented.
What You Get
Decisions Made. Direction Set. Work Done.
This isn't theoretical consulting. Every advisory session produces something concrete. A decision. A document. A recommendation your team can act on that week.
Technology Roadmap
A living document that evolves as priorities shift and opportunities emerge. Not a one-time artifact gathering dust.
Architecture Decisions
Clear, documented calls on stack choices, infrastructure, integrations, and build-vs-buy tradeoffs. No ambiguity, no analysis paralysis.
Vendor Evaluations
Independent, objective assessment of tools and platforms. We don't take referral fees or commissions. Our recommendation is what actually works for your business, not what pays best.
Team & Hiring Guidance
When to hire, who to hire, how to structure a technical team. Interview rubrics, job descriptions, and evaluation frameworks included.
Getting Started
Here's How Every Engagement Begins
We start by learning your business, your stack, and your goals. Add ongoing advisory when you're ready. Scale to a full build partnership when the roadmap demands it. Every step is optional — move at your pace.
Discovery
We learn your business, your stack, and your goals. You get a clear picture of where you stand and a prioritized roadmap for where to go.
- → Architecture, infrastructure, security review
- → AI readiness and automation opportunities
- → Prioritized roadmap your team can act on
Advisory
Embedded technology leadership on a monthly retainer. We show up to your standups, planning sessions, vendor calls, and architecture reviews.
- → Weekly or bi-weekly advisory sessions
- → Vendor evaluation and team guidance
- → Slack, email, or scheduled call access
Build
When the roadmap calls for execution, our platform engineering team builds what we recommended. Same team, shared context, no handoff to a third party.
- → Bi-weekly development cycles
- → AI-powered platform engineering
- → Continuous delivery to production
The TechRev Difference
Advisors Who Can Execute
Most fractional CTOs give you a roadmap and hope you can execute it. We have a platform engineering team that actually builds what we recommend. When we identify a need for a custom application, an AI workflow, or a cloud migration, we don't hand off a requirements doc to some agency. We build it in-house.
Advisory + Execution Under One Roof
The advisory engagement and the platform engineering engagement run in parallel. Same team. Shared context. No translation loss between "what we should do" and "what we're building."
Your Advisory Team
Operators, Not Observers
Your advisory team has hands-on experience across every domain we cover. These aren't consultants who read about it — they're engineers and architects who build and operate these systems for real businesses every day.
Cloud & Infrastructure
AWS, Azure, GCP architecture. Migration planning, cost optimization, and multi-cloud strategy.
Security & Compliance
Threat modeling, access control, audit readiness. Security-first architecture from day one, not bolted on later.
AI & Automation
Agent architecture, LLM integration, workflow automation. Practical AI that solves real operational problems.
Platform Engineering
Application architecture, API design, CI/CD pipelines. Systems built for scale, maintainability, and team velocity.
Team & Process
Hiring strategy, vendor evaluation, development workflows. Building the right team and giving them the right tools.
Data & Analytics
Data architecture, pipeline design, reporting infrastructure. Turning raw data into decisions your team can act on.
How It Works
Start With Discovery. Stay for the Partnership.
Every engagement starts with a structured technology discovery — a deep look at where you are and a clear plan for where to go. Most clients then move into an ongoing advisory retainer. Scale up to a full build partnership when you're ready.

Comprehensive technology evaluation with a written deliverable. Architecture, security, processes, AI readiness, and a prioritized roadmap.
- 2–4 week engagement
