2 spots available — Q1 2026

Your startup needs a CTO.
Not a full-time one.

I help non-technical founders make the right technical decisions — from architecture and hiring to shipping your first product. Without the 200k salary.

What You Get

The expensive mistakes you won't make

Most early-stage startups burn 3–6 months and 500k+ SEK on wrong tech decisions. I've seen the patterns — and I'll help you avoid every one.

01

Technical Strategy

Architecture decisions, tech stack selection, build vs buy — grounded in real startup experience, not theoretical frameworks.

02

Hiring & Team

Engineer screening, interview processes, dev agency vetting. Know who to hire (and who to avoid) before you commit.

03

Product & Roadmap

Sprint planning, specs writing, scope control. Ship what matters and stop building features nobody asked for.

04

AI & Automation

Where AI actually adds value in your product — and where it's just hype. Practical guidance from someone building AI products daily.

05

Investor Readiness

Join technical due diligence calls. Answer hard questions about scalability, security, and architecture with confidence.

06

Vendor & Infra

Cloud setup, CI/CD, monitoring, third-party integrations. The boring stuff that saves you from 3am fires later.

Packages

Simple, transparent pricing

Three tiers depending on how deep you need me. All include a minimum 3-month commitment so we can actually create impact.

Not sure yet? Start with a Technical Audit.

A structured deep-dive into your current stack, team, processes, and roadmap. You get a clear report with priorities — and we both decide if a retainer makes sense.

One-off · 12,000 SEK

Open to equity-based arrangements

For early-stage startups I believe in, I offer reduced cash rates with a small equity component (0.1–0.5%, vesting over 12 months). Great for pre-revenue founders who need senior technical guidance but are watching runway. Let's talk.

How It Works

From first call to shipping

No bloated onboarding. We move fast.

01

Discovery Call

30 minutes. You tell me what you're building, where you're stuck, and what keeps you up at night.

02

Technical Health Check

I audit your stack, processes, and roadmap. You get a prioritized action plan within the first week.

03

Execute

We pick the right tier, set up rituals, and start making decisions together. Weekly cadence from day one.

04

Scale or Exit

When you're ready for a full-time CTO, I help you hire them and hand over cleanly. No lock-in.

Based in Stockholm

I'm the CEO of Finna, an AI adoption platform helping enterprises discover and ship automation. Before that, I built products at PostHog, Juni, and Anyfin — and went through Berkeley SkyDeck with a previous startup.

I've been the technical co-founder, the first product hire, and the person debugging production at 2am. I know what early-stage startups need because I'm living it every day.

I started offering fractional CTO work because founders in my network kept asking for technical guidance — and I realized I could help them avoid the mistakes I've already made (and seen others make). I take on 2–3 startups at a time alongside Finna, so every engagement gets real attention.

Full-stack across React, TypeScript, Python, and modern cloud. Deep in AI/ML. Comfortable in boardrooms and in terminals.

Let's build something
worth building.
