Rather talk it through first? Book a free 15-minute call, not a sales call.
Fractional leadership
Fractional means part-time: a few hours a month or a couple of days a week, from someone who has done the job at many companies.
How we work
Like an artisan neighbourhood bakery: a flexible CTO with hands-on skills and a focused team in tow, for businesses of 1 to 500 people.
15 minutes on where things are. We'll say plainly whether we can help, and how.
A plan of action, timeline and budget, agreed with you before we start. No PowerPoint strategy.
We do the work alongside your team rather than advising from the side.
Regular reviews against the plan, decisions made quickly and written down.
In their words
From the library
Fresh insights from our team. No AI-generated slop.
Do no-code and low-code tools deliver what they promise? We discuss recent experience using anything from Zapier and PowerAutomate to Google's Automation Integration and what business users with no engineering experience can learn from engineers in tackling common problems.
Managers in technology like to celebrate amazing things their teams build but there are some necessary and very real parts of their job they don't like to talk about. Alla Babkina, founder of Innovective, meets with Lautaro Orazi, Director of Engineering and former colleague at Theorem, to compare notes.

We typically charge an hourly rate per consultant. You get discounts if you sign up for bulk retainer hours. We offer discounted rates for the first 3 months for new businesses - because we love seeing products launch. Happy to discuss a fee structure that works for your situation.
Yes, we specialize in helping businesses evolve from legacy systems rather than running from them. We'll help you move to a more modern architecture without judgement.
We help small to medium businesses with 1-500 employees best and are optimised for this scale. We have also helped larger businesses with specific regulatory requirements, and can make it work if you are committed to a lean approach.
