48-Hour Interim & Fractional CTO Continuity in Boston

When a technical co-founder, VP of Engineering, or lead architect departs unexpectedly, Boston CEOs face immediate operational risk: anxious developers, undocumented cloud credentials, stalled customer deliverables, and nervous board members.

Immediate Stabilization Without Rushing a $245,000 – $340,000+ USD + Equity Replacement

  • Hours 1–72 Security & Access Lockdown: We audit AWS/GCP root access, GitHub org permissions, production secrets, CI/CD pipelines, and backup integrity.
  • Team Retention & Roadmap Calm: We run 1-on-1s with every engineer, triage technical blockers, and restore predictable weekly delivery within two sprints.
  • Permanent CTO Search When Ready: Whether you keep GotYourTech long-term on a fractional retainer or recruit a full-time Boston CTO 6–12 months later, we author the spec, vet finalists, and run a seamless handover.
