Your fractional technical partner
Why pay for a full-time executive? BelloAdvisor brings the judgment of a seasoned CTO to your company — architecture, delivery, and investor confidence — exactly when you need it, and only when you need it.
A full-time CTO runs $250k+ a year before equity. Most early teams need ten focused hours a month of that judgment — not the payroll line. You engage exactly the level of involvement your stage demands.
Architecture reviews, investor demos, database rescues, hiring plans, vendor calls — a fractional partner has seen the pattern before, across companies and stacks, and brings the shortcut.
No recruiter, no ninety-day onboarding. The first session produces real recommendations in writing. If the fit isn't right, you've spent an hour — not a quarter.
Services
Executive technical leadership — strategy, architecture, hiring, and investor confidence — without the full-time cost.
Hands-on leadership for your engineering effort: code review, delivery cadence, unblocking the team.
A senior sounding board for roadmap, vendor, and build-vs-buy decisions. Clarity before you commit.
System design that scales: architecture reviews, integration strategy, infrastructure and deployment guidance.
Senior hands-on-keyboard delivery: MVP builds, features, bug fixes, and demo-critical support.
Focused engagements: due-diligence support, technical audits, investor demo preparation, and troubleshooting.
How it works
Create an account in under a minute and describe your situation — the problem, the goal, the stakes. Every detail helps us prepare.
I review every request personally. If I'm the right partner for the problem, your request is approved and scheduling opens — usually within one business day.
Pick a slot on the live calendar, keep a card on file, and get a preparation guide so the session starts at full speed.
Engagement models
A single focused session to solve a specific problem or make a decision.
Recurring weekly sessions — steady guidance while you build.
Reserved monthly capacity with priority response for ongoing partnership.
A scoped body of work with a defined deliverable and timeline.
Advisory engagements start at $150/hr; specialized work — investor meetings, emergency demo support — from $200/hr. Exact terms are agreed per engagement.
Active engagement
I currently serve as fractional technical advisor to a venture-backed consumer platform — from MVP maintenance and demo support through investor due diligence.
