Sound familiar?

Loveable made your app.
Investors want more in production.
You're not ready!

This is where a Fractional CTO comes in. You have the vision, AI continues to build the product, but you get a technical mentor: Without giving up equity.

But you're still the one:

  • Building out the product
  • Deciding the product direction and features
  • Leading the build and rollout of your company
I just provide technical oversight.

I do not offer to vibe code for you. I give you technical insights, practical vetting and most importantly, accountability. I've been in IT for 25 years, I've worked at the engineer and leadership level of some of the world's best known tech companies & I've worked with investment firms evaluating startups. I add credibility, technical oversight and a recovery plan for when AI goes wrong. The admiration for building a technical product without a team...

That's all you!
Quite technical mentorship in the background.
That's me.
Who I am

Not a hire.
A technical co-founder.

I'm Jimmy. I'm not a dev you hand a ticket to. I'm the Fractional CTO you bring in when you have the vision and AI building the product, but no one in your corner who's actually shipped at scale.

25 years in IT, working at engineer and leadership level inside some of the world's best-known tech companies, plus time helping investment firms vet the startups they were about to fund. I know what "production-ready" really means and what investors look for under the hood.

You keep the vision, the product direction and your equity. I bring technical oversight, honest vetting and accountability: the judgement that only comes from two and a half decades of getting it right and getting it wrong. That's the part AI can't give you.

I don't vibe code for you and I won't take over your build. I'm the calm second opinion in the background, and the recovery plan for when AI takes you somewhere it shouldn't.

🎯

You handle the product.
I'll handle the risk.
No interference.

0% equity

The one thing I'll never
ask you for is equity.

Handing over a slice of your company for technical help is a lose-lose trade. Look at how it plays out either way.

If the company folds

Nobody wins.

The equity is worth nothing. You carried the risk, gave away part of your company, and there's nothing to show for it. I walk away with the same : zero. My "stake" never cost me anything, so I never truly shared your downside.

If it becomes the next Uber

You overpaid. Massively.

That 5% you gave away is now worth millions : in exchange for some coding advice and technical leadership you could have paid a flat monthly fee for. The most expensive invoice you'll ever regret.

A flat fee is the only honest deal. You keep 100% of your company, I get paid fairly for the work, and neither of us is quietly betting on the other's outcome to make the maths work. You come out ahead either way.

How it works

We don't start
with a contract.

A paid audit, then seven days working together. You see exactly how it feels before anything is committed.

1

Book a call

A verbal and/or written report for £250 covering what's wrong with your current setup and exactly what to do about it.

2

Choose your path

Decide which way you want to go: Fractional CTO for oversight and direction, or Technical Co-Founder for a deeper, hands-on role.

3

See how it works

A seven-day, no-commitment period. You pay for my time at the standard rate, but there's no contract tying you in.

4

Roll it out

Put me in your materials as your Technical Co-Founder, or I start implementing your tech vision alignment from day one.

The opportunity

Not just leadership.
Accountability you can point to.

You're already carrying this. Investors asking if the architecture scales. Whether the database holds at 10x users. Whether Loveable's decision-making is one you're willing to stand behind when the stakes get real.

AI tools come with a disclaimer: use at your own discretion. I don't.

 I'm a real person with 25 years behind every call I make, and I stand by them. You got here on instinct and momentum. The next stage needs someone who's seen this exact movie before, and answers for it.

What founders say

Founders who shipped
without giving up equity.

★★★★★

"AI got me a working prototype, but the moment real users showed up it started falling over. Jimmy came in as our Fractional CTO and turned it into something that actually holds together : without asking for a slice of the company."

Alex L.
Alex L.Non-technical founder, Manchester
★★★★★

"I'm not technical, so investors kept asking who was making the engineering calls. Having Jimmy as my Technical Co-Founder in the room changed every one of those conversations. Best decision I made this year."

Sam R.
Sam R.Solo founder, Bristol
★★★★★

"Jimmy gets the founder mindset. He didn't try to take over the vision : he made sure the tech behind it could survive real users, real money and real risk. Exactly the mentor I needed."
