Not coaching. Not consulting. A structured advisory engagement with deliverables.
Free advisors give time when they have it. Consultants hand over a report and leave. Reyem Tech gives you a 90-day structured program with defined artifacts, working sessions, and a senior advisor accountable to outcomes — from pre-seed through Series A.
What We Deliver
Tangible artifacts that survive fundraising, guide your engineering team, and prevent costly mistakes.
Technology Roadmap Document
A prioritized technology roadmap aligned to fundraising milestones.
You get: The artifact your investors and first engineering hires will use as their north star.
Architecture Decision Record
Documented decisions on stack, infrastructure, and scalability.
You get: Removes ambiguity for your dev team and survives technical due diligence.
Pitch Deck Technical Section
Investor-ready technology narrative: architecture, scalability, build-vs-buy rationale.
You get: Written to survive a VC's CTO review.
MVP Feature Specification
Scoped, prioritized feature list with acceptance criteria.
You get: Prevents scope creep and wasted runway.
Engineering Hiring Plan
Role definitions, compensation benchmarks, screening criteria, and interview process.
You get: Everything you need to make your first engineering hires with confidence.
Due Diligence Prep Package
Architecture diagrams, security posture, scalability constraints, known technical debt.
You get: Answers every question an investor's technical advisor will ask.
Stage-Specific Advisory
Different stages demand different focus. We adapt to where you are.
Pre-Seed
Validate assumptions before spending engineering budget. Define the MVP that tests your core hypothesis. Articulate technology vision to angel investors.
Focus Areas
Idea validation, MVP scope, first hire brief, angel pitch narrative
Seed
Build an architectural foundation that survives 10x growth. Prepare technical documentation for institutional fundraising. Establish engineering processes that scale.
Focus Areas
Architecture Decision Records, scalability review, due diligence package, team structure plan
Series A
Prepare for technical audit by institutional investors. Articulate technology moat. Establish governance structures for incident management, security, and SDLC.
Focus Areas
Due diligence prep, CTO succession planning, engineering KPIs, investor-grade documentation
Who This Is For
Founders and early-stage leaders who need structured technical guidance.
The Non-Technical Founder
"I have deep domain expertise but I'm uncertain when engineers talk about infrastructure. I need a technical co-pilot who translates technology into business outcomes."
The First-Time CTO
"I can build the product but I've never run an engineering org or presented to a board. I need perspective without the politics of hiring above me."
The Founder Preparing to Fundraise
"My raise is 3-6 months away. I need investor-ready documentation, a credible scalability story, and help pressure-testing architecture before a VC does it for me."
Who This Is NOT For
You need a full-time CTO (consider our Fractional CTO service instead)
You want someone to build your product for you
You're post-Series B and need enterprise-scale engineering leadership
You're looking for generic business coaching without technical depth
How It Works
A 90-day structured program designed to leave you stronger, not create dependency.
Discovery & Diagnosis
Free
60-minute session to map your current landscape and identify the 3 highest-risk decisions in your next 90 days. You leave with a prioritized risk register regardless.
Engagement Design
Week 1
Define 90-day program scope — which deliverables, what cadence, what milestones. No open-ended retainer.
Structured Advisory Sprints
Weeks 2-12
Bi-weekly working sessions + async support. Every session produces a decision log or artifact.
Handoff & Independence
Week 12
Document all decisions, hand off artifacts, assess continued needs. Goal: leave your team stronger, not create dependency.
The Cost of Not Having Guidance
A full-time CTO costs $230K-$380K in total comp. That is not realistic for seed-stage. More importantly, consider the cost of mistakes the program prevents.
$200K+
Wrong tech stack requiring a Series A rewrite
$150K+
First engineering hire who doesn't scale
Priceless
Pitch deck that loses investor confidence
Results That Matter
Measurable outcomes from startup mentoring engagements.
40%
Reduction in time-to-market for first product
75%
Of mentored startups avoid costly architecture rework
90
Days to a validated technical foundation
2x
More likely to close first enterprise deal with CTO support
Frequently Asked Questions
Founders who get advice after building spend 40% of Series A engineering budget fixing day-one architectural decisions. Early guidance prevents expensive rework.
Free advisors give time when they have it. We provide structured engagements with defined artifacts, accountability, and a consistent cadence — not sporadic advice.
That's exactly what this program is for. We function as your technical co-pilot — translating business goals into technology decisions and helping you build the right foundation.
Consider the alternative: every week without clear technical direction is runway spent on rework. The program prevents the $200K+ mistakes that drain early-stage capital.
Our standard model is fixed-fee. Hybrid equity arrangements are considered case-by-case for very early stage startups. We are transparent about terms from the first conversation.
You own all artifacts. Continue with another sprint, transition to fractional CTO engagement, or execute independently. No lock-in, no dependency by design.
