How this works

One AI-native engineer.
The output of a team.

One senior engineer plus AI agents now ships fractional cto that used to need a four-person team. Same code quality, half the cost, three-week timelines instead of three months. Built for pre-seed to Series A founders in Miami who need to ship before the next round closes.

The local read

Why fractional cto is hard in Miami

Miami's pre-seed deal count passed LA and Boston in Q1 2026. The hiring market hasn't caught up. Local agencies are split between Web3 specialty shops billing hourly and general consultancies feeding logistics companies. Neither ships venture-grade product on a seed timeline.

We do. One named senior engineer, Eastern Time, builds on Solana, Base, or whatever stack your investor expects. Bilingual i18n by default for LatAm products. Bridge or Dinari for stablecoin rails. Flat-price quote in 24 hours after a discovery call. Code in your GitHub from commit one.

Hiring one senior leader here is a ~$270K year-one outlay and a 60–90 day search. Our fractional cto engagement starts at $4,000 with a first deploy in Monthly engagement.

FAQ

Common questions about fractional cto in Miami

How much of your time do we get?

+
Plans typically range 10–30 hours/month depending on scope. We're not your only commitment, but we set a fixed window every week that's yours — same day, same hours.

Is the price really flat?

+
Yes. After a 30-minute call we send a single number and a scope you can accept or reject. No hourly billing, no change-order games. If we underestimate, we eat it.

Can you hire engineers for us?

+
Yes — full hiring loop: writing the JD, sourcing channels (we have a network), screening, technical take-home design, final-round interview. Most CTOs we've helped hire run their first sprint inside a month of starting.

Will you keep coding if we hire a full CTO later?

+
Happy to. Many founders bring on a full-time CTO and keep us as senior IC for 2–3 months while they ramp. No ego — we'll happily report to whoever you hire.

Who owns the code?

+
You do, from commit one. The repository is created in your GitHub org. Infrastructure is provisioned in your cloud account. We don't host your stack on ours and we don't lock you in.
