How does GotYourTech.ai work?

We work on simple monthly retainers — no equity required. Three ways to engage: Fractional CTO ($4,800/mo) — I join your leadership team 4–8 hours a week. Tech Co-Founder ($6,500/mo, optional equity component) — for pre-product founders without a technical partner. Tech Delivery Squad ($12,000/mo) — fractional CTO plus a dedicated engineering team. Everything starts with a free 20-minute intro call.

How much equity do you take?

None by default. All engagements are cash retainers. The only exception: the Tech Co-Founder tier can include an optional equity component, held through Eternitech — never by me personally, and only when it makes sense for both sides. If you're pre-seed and want to trade equity for a team, that's our sister brand TechForEquity.

Why should I choose GotYourTech.ai instead of hiring a full-time CTO?

A full-time CTO costs $200K–$300K a year plus heavy equity. With GotYourTech you get one senior operator — me, Shahar, 20 years as a CTO and currently active at a US startup — plus my vetted delivery team, for a fraction of that cost. No equity dilution, no long-term contracts, 30-day notice.

What is the application process like?

There's no application. Book a 20-minute call, tell me your stage and your biggest tech problem, and I'll tell you honestly whether fractional CTO is what you need. If we're a fit, you get a written proposal within 48 hours and we start with a two-week trial sprint.

Is this just consulting, or do you actually build things?

We build things. If you need engineering execution, our Tech Delivery Squad pairs fractional CTO leadership with dedicated engineering resources.

How do you handle Privacy Protection Law (PPL) and GDPR?

As your Fractional CTO, I architect systems with privacy by design from day one, ensuring absolute compliance with local privacy protection laws and maintaining GDPR equivalence so you can sell into the EU friction-free.

Are you available during our working hours?

Yes. We maintain significant overlap with the US East Coast, Europe, and Israel, making it seamless to manage your local R&D team while interfacing with global investors.

How do you protect our intellectual property?

All IP developed during our engagement is 100% owned by your company. We sign strict NDAs and ensure all vendor and employee contracts reflect full IP assignment to the startup.
