Give your founders access to on-demand technical leadership so they can scale faster, avoid costly mistakes, and hit their milestones.
Your portfolio’s growth shouldn’t stall because of technical gaps.
Many early-stage SaaS founders are brilliant at product and customer acquisition — but when it comes to technology leadership, gaps show up fast:
Technical debt slowing velocity
Rising cloud costs burning runway
Missed product deadlines
Security and compliance risks (SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR)
Over-reliance on a single technical cofounder or outsourced team
When these issues aren’t addressed, valuations suffer, and downstream fundraising gets harder.
Fractional CTO Services for VC Portfolio Companies


A repeatable CTO resource across your portfolio.
I partner with VC firms to provide their portfolio with fractional and augmenting CTO support, including:
Technical diligence and post-investment assessments
100-day technical roadmaps for new funding rounds
Cloud architecture and cost optimization (20–40% savings typical)
Compliance and security readiness (SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR)
Interim or co-leadership to support (or supplement) existing CTOs
Think of it as a plug-and-play CTO service you can deploy into any portfolio company that’s hitting scaling challenges.
Aligned to your portfolio’s success.
Protect Valuation: Fix technical bottlenecks before they hurt ARR or burn rates
Accelerate Scale: Ensure startups hit product milestones and investor updates
Repeatable Playbooks: Proven frameworks for infra, engineering orgs, and compliance that work across multiple companies
I act as an extension of your platform team — technical leadership when your founders need it most, without adding headcount to their burn.


Example: Portfolio SaaS Scaling Post-Seed
A VC-backed FinTech startup was prepping for Series A but struggling with scaling infra and meeting delivery targets.
In 4 months, I:
Migrated their legacy monolith to GCP microservices
Reduced onboarding time for engineers by 50% with better tooling
Stabilized infra uptime to 99.99%, preventing churn before diligence
Result: Stronger investor narrative, faster velocity, and a successful $12M Series A raise.
Support your founders where they need it most.
There for the hurry not the wait
