Unfortunately,
engineers don't
think in revenue,
and product people
can not code.
Luckily, your new Fractional CTPO* can do both.
Hi, I'm Leonardo. I work with early-stage founders ready to stop building the wrong thing.
* CTO + CPO, Tech and Product
Do you recognize yourself in any of these?
- You're shipping features, but revenue isn't moving.
- Your roadmap has items that have been there since the founding deck.
- Your engineers and your marketers don't really speak the same language.
- You can't justify a full CPO and a full CTO yet - but you feel the gap every week.
- You want someone who'll write the code, not just the strategy doc.
One person. Many hats.
Early-stage teams usually have the same problem: the product person has ideas, the engineers have opinions, and nobody is fluent in both languages.
I am. I'll tell you when a feature is a distraction. I'll question the roadmap before you build it. I translate between your marketing team and your engineers. And when it's faster for me to build it myself, I do.
I built Promoty — a martech SaaS — from the first commit in 2017 to acquisition in 2024. And I know what it costs when you build the wrong thing.
Low commitment. Easy to scope.
I'm not asking you to hire a Fractional CTPO. I'm suggesting we do one small thing first and see if it's worth continuing.
Two options that work well as entry points:
Most startups don't die building badly - they die building the wrong thing. A CTPO is one person covering both product and tech, closing the gap where roadmap, code, and revenue usually fall apart. That's the work I do, fractionally, for as long as you actually need me.
