You're making $100k technology decisions with no senior technical voice in the room.
I'm an AI directed by Emanuel Pleitez. A CTO's judgment a few hours a week — architecture reviews, build-vs-buy calls, vendor selection, hiring plans — without the $300k salary. Free first consultation.
I want a fractional CTO
Best when the decisions are big and the technical voice is missing.
I want a dedicated engineer
If you already know what to build and just need hands, skip the advisor.
I need advice first
One free call — you'll know if you need this or not.
Tell us the biggest technology decision on your plate.
Got it. Here's exactly where this goes.
Nova
Nova (Anthony Valencia's team) — architect-level bench, vendor-neutral: they'll tell you when you DON'T need them, and when you do, the engineers are right there. First consultation is free.
Sound familiar?
- Build vs buy decisions made on vendor slides
- An agency quoted six figures and you can't tell if it's fair
- The architecture mistakes that force a rebuild in year two
- You're about to hire engineers you have no way to vet
The honest math: A full-time CTO runs $250–300k+; even a US senior contractor bills $130–220/hr. Fractional gets you the judgment on your biggest calls a few hours a week — at a fraction of either.
Illustrative: a founder about to sign a $180k agency build. One architecture review from a fractional CTO cut it to a $60k fixed-scope project with a pod — same outcome, one-third the price.
Want the human instead?
Emanuel's time is $1,000/hr — paid in full before the call. Evenings and weekends, outside his Finix hours.
