CTO-as-a-Service

Fractional CTO leadership for HealthTech founders & investors.

2 days / week . 3-month minimum . EU markets.

Early-stage HealthTech companies need senior technical leadership—but not always a full-time CTO. Thaumatec’s fractional CTO gives you guidance two days a week, helping you avoid costly decisions, hire better, and build investor trust.

Integration blockers this package removes:

No senior technical voice in investor conversations and board meeting

Engineering team lacks direction — architecture decisions made ad-hoc

Regulatory and compliance strategy not embedded in product development

Vendor and technology stack selection driven by recency bias, not fit

What you get - The four pillars of fractional CTO engagement

Weekly Leadership Sessions

Your senior technical partner — every week.

60–90 minute structured session with founder/CEO and key technical leads

Technical roadmap review and prioritisation — weekly cadence

Engineering team health check — velocity, blockers, morale, retention risks

Decision support on architecture, hiring, and build vs. buy choices

Engineering Team Structure

Build the right team before you build the wrong product.

Organisational design — roles, seniority mix, reporting structure

Job description crafting and technical interview process design

Onboarding and knowledge management framework for a growing team

Team performance assessment and constructive feedback structures

Investor-Level Technical Communication

Turn your technical story into a funding asset.

Technical due diligence preparation — answering the hard questions

Pitch deck technical sections — architecture diagrams, scalability narrative

Regulatory readiness communication for Medtech and digital health investors

Board and investor update communications — technical metrics and milestones

Vendor Selection & Architecture

Buy smart. Build what differentiates

Technology stack selection — informed by regulatory, scale, and team constraints

Build vs. buy vs. partner analysis for every major platform component

Vendor and tooling shortlisting with regulatory compliance scoring

Architecture review of proposals from contractors, agencies, and vendors

We need 30 minutes to explore how to accelerate your project.
