About

Hi, I'll be direct: we're a pre-seed startup on the cusp of raising our first round, and we need someone technical who's navigated this stage before. We've got traction on the product side, but we're at that critical point where the technical decisions we make now will either enable or constrain everything that comes next. We need someone to reality-check our architecture, optimise where we're spending, and help us walk into investor meetings with confidence about our technical foundation. Ideally, you've been a CTO or senior technical advisor at an early-stage company. You know what investors ask, where startups typically stumble technically, and how to build for scale without over-engineering. This is confidential and flexible - whether you're between roles, fractional consulting, or just interested in advising the right opportunity, we can structure something that works. If this opportunity resonates with you, I'd welcome a conversation. Kind regards, Mark
