Fractional CTO • Technical Leadership • St. Louis and Remote

Fractional CTO leadership when your software decisions are too important to guess.

Wade Enterprises helps founders, operators, and growing teams make better technical decisions, stabilize delivery, prioritize the right work, and build secure software systems without immediately hiring a full-time CTO.

Architecture direction

Clear system design, service boundaries, cloud decisions, integration plans, and technical tradeoffs leaders can act on.

Roadmap ownership

A practical sequence of work that balances revenue, risk, security, product needs, and engineering capacity.

Team and vendor guidance

Hiring support, technical interviews, vendor evaluation, code review standards, and engineering process improvement.

Executive translation

Plain-language technical communication for founders, boards, investors, clients, and non-technical stakeholders.

Typical leadership options

Start with the level of technical leadership the business actually needs.

Fractional CTO engagements typically start at $8,999/month. Advisory and embedded options are scoped based on urgency, team size, delivery risk, and executive involvement.

Starting at $4,999/month

Advisory CTO

Strategic guidance, architecture review, vendor oversight, and decision support for founders or small teams.

Starting at $8,999/month

Fractional CTO

Ongoing technical leadership, roadmap ownership, architecture direction, hiring support, and delivery guidance.

Starting at $14,999/month

Embedded Technical Leadership

Deeper weekly involvement across product, engineering, delivery, architecture, and stakeholder communication.

Best fit

This is strongest for teams with a serious product, a stalled build, an overloaded founder, an unclear architecture, or a roadmap that needs senior technical judgment before more money is spent.
