Fractional CTO Services for growing businesses and the investors who back them.

There for the hurry, not the wait.

Foundry Fractional (Matthew Ward) offers expert Fractional CTO services, delivering strategic technical leadership tailored for your organization. I take your vision and turn it into an actional technical strategy and plan. Let me help you navigate your technology journey.

Being a strategic leader can be alot of "hurry up and wait". Why pay full price for the wait? "Fractional" refers to the cost to you while still getting the full-power of a seasoned technology leader with over 20 years experience.

"Oh you are a consultant". NO. Consultants solve predefined problems and depart, or worse work by the hour. A Fractional CTO owns the technology domain as a co-pilot to the CEO, defining both problems and solutions, focused on outcome and value delivery, not time spent.

When it comes to technical challenges, Matt is a phenomenal strategic thinker. His experience with true SaaS DevOps really enabled him to identify gaps in our enterprise technology and process.

Nathan Bridges
Director, Engineering
