Fractional CTO for AI Startups: On-Demand Technical Leadership Without the Full-Time Hire
MyAibo provides fractional CTO and ML engineering leadership for AI startups that need senior architecture, hiring, and fundraising support — without the 12–18 month search and full-time cost of an executive hire.
Why Are You Making $500,000 Architecture Decisions Without a Senior Technical Voice in the Room?
Full-time CTOs cost $250K–$400K fully loaded, but bad architecture decisions at the wrong stage cost far more — fractional engagement solves that asymmetry.
The work, in detail.
Four phases, week by week.
Full stack audit and identification of strategic priorities.
Resolve critical decisions and improve engineering process.
Bi-weekly reviews, mentoring, and fundraising prep as needed.
Support the full-time CTO search and knowledge transfer.
Works best together.
Typically $500K–$5M ARR — early enough that a full-time executive hire (a 12–18 month search, $250K–$400K fully loaded) isn’t yet the right tradeoff, but past the point where architecture decisions are low-stakes.
