Fractional firepower before you can afford a CTO.
We help founders raise, build, and ship. Fractional CTO/CPO/CDO leadership while you’re closing the round. MVP delivery the day your wire clears. Engineering pods that scale with runway, not the other way around.
Where are you in the journey?
Two clear engagement models — picked by where your runway sits, not by what we want to sell.
You’re raising.
You’re in the deck. The investor wants to meet your CTO. You don’t have one — and you can’t afford to hire one until you close. Fractional CXO buys you the credibility, the architecture, and the diligence answers — at 1–3 days a week.
Fractional CXO →Path 02You’re funded.
The wire cleared last Friday. The board wants velocity. We deploy a Fractional Team — PM, eng, design, AI — embedded with your founders, shipping an MVP in 6–12 weeks while you hire the founding team in parallel.
MVP & Fractional Team →The credibility your deck needs. Without the burn.
A Fractional CTO/CPO/CDO from AppsGenii — pedigreed, named, real — sits inside your investor calls and your roadmap. 1–3 days a week. Until you can hire full-time.
What you get on day one.
- A named senior on your data room and investor decks.
- Architecture diagrams VCs will actually read.
- Hiring plan + technical due diligence answers.
- A 90-day technology roadmap tied to milestones.
- Direct line for “investor X is asking about Y” questions.
- Hand-off plan when you hire your full-time CTO.

Six weeks. Six milestones. Founder review every Friday. By week 6 you’re in the App Store or live with your first user cohort.
Startups we helped go live.
GharPar — from MVP to #1 marketplace.
Started as a 6-week MVP for a founder testing the at-home beauty thesis. Now Pakistan’s #1 on-demand at-home beauty platform — featured in Marie Claire.
Sports Tech · UAEOLE — UAE’s #1 stadium booking app.
Funded sports-tech founder. We delivered the v1 mobile app — instant stadium booking, lineup creator, real-time slots. Now UAE’s #1 in category.
FinTech · UAEPerfectPay — CXO through the raise, then the build.
Pre-seed FinTech founder. Fractional CTO during the seed raise, then native MVP delivery — AED digital wallet with dual card system and gift card marketplace.
Founder questions, answered straight.
Will you sign an NDA before we share the deck?
Yes. Standard mutual NDA, signed within 24 hours. We've worked with stealth-mode founders raising $5M+ rounds — confidentiality is non-negotiable.
Who actually shows up — a senior or a junior?
A senior. Always. For Fractional CXO, you get a named executive (typically with 12+ years experience). For MVP delivery, the pod is led by a senior staff engineer with founder-of-record sign-off on the architecture. We don't bait-and-switch.
Will the IP be mine?
100%. All code, designs, models, prompts, and documentation transfer to you on payment of the final milestone. We don't retain copyright, ask for revenue share, or lock you into a maintenance contract.
What if I want to take the team in-house later?
We expect it. Most engagements end with us helping you hire your full-time team and handing off the codebase. Some pod members have moved in-house with our blessing — flat conversion fee, no equity or revenue claims.
Do you take equity instead of cash?
Sometimes. For high-conviction founders we'll do a partial cash + equity arrangement (typically 30–50% cash, the rest in advisory shares vesting over the engagement). We're selective — we have to believe in you and the market.
What's the smallest engagement you'll take?
A 4-week LowCode MVP at $18K, or a 1-month Fractional CTO at $8K. Smaller than that, we'll happily refer you to one of our advisors directly — sometimes the right answer is one good conversation, not a project.
