We provide technology leadership for growing companies at all stages. Our services include part-time CTO leadership, technical architecture guidance, platform modernization, and agile coaching. We focus on four key areas: developing technological vision aligned with business goals, simplifying complex technical systems, building high-performing engineering teams through mentorship, and supporting international expansion with scalable technology foundations.

Our unique positioning combines deep expertise in scaling technology platforms to unicorn level with proven experience in PE/venture environments. Based in Amsterdam's thriving tech ecosystem, we bring specialized knowledge of European scale-up dynamics, regulatory requirements, and international expansion strategies. Our servant leadership philosophy empowers self-driven teams, while our focus on modern enterprise architectures (particularly microservices) ensures your technology platform can scale efficiently. We don't just provide strategy—we accelerate execution through hands-on guidance and transformational leadership.

We offer flexible pricing models tailored to scale-up needs: hourly consulting rates ranging from €150-500/hour for specific advisory sessions, monthly retainer arrangements from €3,000-15,000/month for ongoing fractional CTO services, and project-based fees for comprehensive digital transformation initiatives. Our pricing reflects the specialized expertise in scaling technology platforms from startup to unicorn level, with transparent fee structures outlined in each Statement of Work before engagement begins.

Our engagement timelines are optimized for scale-up velocity. Rapid advisory assessments typically last 2-4 weeks, fractional CTO arrangements range from 3-12 months depending on scaling milestones, and comprehensive platform modernization projects span 6-18 months. We align project phases with your funding rounds and growth targets, ensuring technology scaling keeps pace with business acceleration.

We specialize in scale-ups and high-growth companies, particularly those targeting unicorn status or backed by PE/VC investors. Our sweet spot is companies with €1-50M ARR who need strategic technology leadership to accelerate their growth trajectory. We also advise PE firms and investment committees on technology due diligence and portfolio company optimization.

Our fractional CTO retainers typically range from €5,000-15,000/month, depending on scope and time commitment. This includes strategic oversight, architectural guidance, team mentoring, and board-level technology representation. We structure retainers to align with your funding cycles and growth milestones, with flexibility to scale up or down based on your evolving needs.

While based in Amsterdam, we serve clients across Europe and internationally. We're experienced in remote collaboration tools and methodologies, ensuring seamless integration with distributed teams. Our approach combines strategic on-site presence for critical phases with efficient remote delivery for ongoing work, optimizing both effectiveness and cost-efficiency.

For select high-potential scale-ups, we may consider hybrid arrangements combining reduced fees with equity participation. This aligns our success with your growth trajectory and demonstrates our confidence in your platform's potential. These arrangements are evaluated case-by-case based on the company's stage, market opportunity, and our potential strategic contribution.

We leverage our proven methodology for accelerating scale-ups to unicorn level. This includes comprehensive technology audits, architecture roadmaps aligned with business growth targets, servant leadership practices that empower self-driven teams, and continuous monitoring against key scaling metrics. Our approach combines strategic vision with tactical execution, ensuring technology becomes an enabler rather than a bottleneck for rapid growth.

Successful scaling requires active collaboration. We typically work closely with your leadership team, product owners, and engineering leads. For fractional CTO engagements, we integrate seamlessly with your existing structure, providing strategic oversight while empowering your teams to maintain operational momentum. We emphasize knowledge transfer and capability building to ensure your organization can sustain growth independently.

Scale-ups evolve rapidly, so we build flexibility into our engagements. We use agile governance processes that allow for scope adjustments aligned with funding rounds, market pivots, or strategic shifts. Changes are managed through collaborative reviews with your leadership team, ensuring technology strategy remains aligned with business objectives while maintaining project momentum.

We implement continuous monitoring and early warning systems to identify scaling bottlenecks before they impact growth. Our rapid response protocols include immediate technical assessments, interim solution deployment, and accelerated remediation plans. Drawing on our extensive experience with scale-up challenges, we provide proven patterns and solutions that have successfully addressed similar issues across our portfolio.

Absolutely. Our servant leadership approach focuses on empowering your teams for long-term success. We provide comprehensive knowledge transfer through mentoring sessions, architecture documentation, best practice workshops, and hands-on coaching. Our goal is to develop your internal capabilities so your teams can continue scaling the platform independently while maintaining the architectural integrity and operational excellence we've established together.

We specialize in modern, scalable technology stacks optimized for rapid growth. Our expertise includes cloud-native architectures (GCP, AWS, Azure, in that order), microservices platforms, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and modern development frameworks. We focus on loosely coupled enterprise architectures that enable rapid iteration and scaling. Our approach emphasizes technology choices that support both current needs and future unicorn-scale requirements.

We specialize in transforming legacy monolithic systems into modern, decoupled microservices architectures. Our approach involves systematic decomposition, risk-controlled migration strategies, and continuous operation during transformation. We implement patterns that allow incremental modernization while maintaining business continuity, ensuring faster time-to-market and reduced technical debt as you scale.

Yes, we evaluate and implement emerging technologies that provide competitive advantages for scale-ups. Our approach focuses on practical applications that drive business value rather than technology for its own sake. We help assess AI/ML opportunities for product enhancement, operational optimization, and market differentiation, always aligned with your scaling objectives and resource constraints.

We have deep experience across B2B and B2C markets, with particular expertise in platforms that require scale-up to unicorn-level growth. Our industry experience spans fintech, e-commerce, SaaS, marketplace platforms, and digital transformation initiatives. More importantly, we understand the universal challenges of scaling technology platforms regardless of vertical, bringing proven patterns and solutions that apply across industries.

We implement enterprise-grade security practices suitable for scale-ups preparing for institutional investment or international expansion. This includes GDPR compliance for European operations, SOC 2 readiness for B2B clients, and security frameworks that scale with your growth. We emphasize "security by design" principles in all architectural decisions, ensuring robust protection without hindering rapid development and deployment cycles.

Start with our free consultation call to discuss your technology challenges and scaling objectives. We'll assess your current platform, understand your growth targets, and identify how our expertise can accelerate your path to unicorn status. From there, we'll propose a tailored engagement model that aligns with your timeline, budget, and strategic priorities.

We'll need an overview of your current technology stack, team structure, growth targets, and specific challenges you're facing. For fractional CTO engagements, we'll also want to understand your leadership team structure, board composition, and strategic priorities. This information helps us develop a precise engagement plan and pricing structure.
