Fractional CTO for Startups That Ship

With over 20 years of experience building and scaling technology teams, I help startups move faster and ship better products.
Tech decisions slowing you down?
Every "let's revisit this next sprint" is costing you runway. You need someone who's made these calls before.
Scaling team but no technical co-founder?
Hiring devs is expensive. Hiring the wrong devs is catastrophic. Get it right the first time.
Need senior leadership without the $180K salary?
A fractional CTO gives you the strategy and oversight — at a fraction of the cost.
What You Get
Architecture Reviews
Know what'll break before it breaks. Scalable systems from day one.
Team Scaling and Hiring
Right people, right structure, right time. I've built teams from 2 to 20+.
Technical Strategy
Roadmap that actually connects to business goals. No tech-for-tech's-sake.
Investor-Ready Due Diligence
When VCs ask hard questions, you'll have answers. I've been on both sides of that table.
- 6x founder — built from zero, scaled, exited
- 20+ years shipping products to millions
- Games, SaaS, AI, Fintech — I've seen the patterns
- Based in Lisbon, clients worldwide
- Run Lisbon Founders Club — 40+ entrepreneurs
I'm truly impressed with Alex. His entrepreneurial experience enables him to ask deep and relevant questions. Moreover, he quickly translates answers into actionable points. Not many can do this as effectively as he does.
Our venture studio has always found Alex's tracking sessions to be highly professional. His attentiveness, depth of approach, responsiveness, and solid understanding of the IT sector make him an excellent specialist.
