// service · fractional cto
Technical leadership when you need it, not a full-time salary you don’t.
We act as an extension of your leadership team — making architecture and technology decisions, holding vendors and dev teams accountable, and giving your board a technical voice they can trust.
// is this you
Important technical decisions are being made without technical oversight.
No senior technical voice in the room
Product, budget, and hiring decisions are being made without anyone who can properly evaluate the technical trade-offs.
An outsourced dev team with no oversight
You rely on an external agency or contractors, but nobody on your side can tell if the architecture, cost, or quality is actually sound.
A full-time CTO is not the right cost yet
You need the judgement, not necessarily the five-day-a-week headcount — at least not yet.
// what we deliver
The judgement of a senior CTO, on a cadence that fits your stage.
A recurring, structured engagement — not an occasional check-in.
Technical strategy & roadmap
A roadmap that connects business goals to concrete technical decisions, reviewed and adjusted on a regular cadence.
Architecture review & decisions
Hands-on evaluation of your current or proposed architecture, with clear recommendations you can act on immediately.
Vendor & dev-team accountability
Independent oversight of any external development partner or agency, so you have someone assessing quality and cost on your behalf.
Hiring support for technical roles
Help writing the role, assessing candidates technically, and structuring your first in-house engineering hires.
// why augaten
An extension of your leadership team, not a vendor pitching more work.
Fixed, predictable cadence
A regular structure of check-ins and deliverables, so you always know what to expect and when.
No vendor bias
Because we're not the ones billing for the build, our review of your architecture and vendors has no conflict of interest.
Board-ready reporting
Technical updates translated into language your board and investors can act on, not jargon that needs a follow-up meeting.

Frequently asked questions
How many hours a week does this involve?
It depends on your stage and the decisions in front of you — we agree a cadence upfront, from a few hours a week to more intensive periods around major decisions, and adjust as needs change.
Does this replace our existing developers or agency?
No — we typically work alongside your existing team or agency, providing the technical oversight and accountability that keeps their output aligned with your business goals.
What if we already have an outsourced development partner?
That is a common starting point. We review their architecture and delivery independently and represent your interests in that relationship, rather than replacing it outright.
