Tailored for High-Velocity Startups & Established Operators
Technical bottlenecks look different at a 12-person Seed startup in London or New York than at a profitable 20-year operating business modernizing its core workflows. We structure every engagement around your commercial stage.
US & UK Startups (1–30 Employees)
Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A founders in London, New York, San Francisco, Miami, Austin, and across the US/UK raising capital without a battle-tested full-time CTO on the cap table.
Established UK & US Businesses Making the Tech Shift
Established profitable businesses preparing for private equity investment, M&A exit, or commercial lender scrutiny where legacy technology could trigger valuation haircuts.
4 Signals You Need Immediate CTO Intervention
- Investors ask "Who owns technical strategy and architecture?" and you lack a credible executive answer
- No technical data room, architecture diagrams, disaster recovery plan, or cost-per-tenant model exists
- Code was touched by freelancers or offshore agencies without clean IP assignment or license audits
- You are 60–90 days from fundraising and cannot risk a failed VC technical audit killing your term sheet

How GotYourTech Compares to Status Quo Alternatives
Dev agencies profit from longer hours and ground-up rewrites. Unassisted teams accumulate silent risk. Our incentives are 100% aligned with your P&L and valuation.
| Dimension | Without Senior CTO | Typical Agency / Junior Lead | GotYourTech Principal CTO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Investor Credibility | Non-technical founder grilled alone on architecture | Dev shop vendor cannot represent executive leadership | 20-year operator vocabulary aligned with US/UK VCs |
| Cap Table Impact | Rushed pre-round CTO hire costs 3%–10% equity | Zero strategic equity value | Zero mandatory equity; hire permanent CTO post-raise from strength |
| Valuation Protection | Surprise tech debt used to re-trade valuation | Unaware of gross-margin & IP diligence traps | Proactively neutralizes technical valuation discounts |
