FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from hiring a CTO?
Owned gives you senior judgment and strategic guidance without the full-time commitment or cost. You get VP-level experience at a flat $7,995/mo, focused on high-stakes decisions and strategic direction rather than day-to-day management.
How many clients do you work with?
We keep the roster intentionally small. Strategy work requires real availability, so we only sign partnerships where the fit is strong and the response commitments hold.
Do you do hands-on coding or development?
Yes. That's the difference from a pure advisor. The same senior engineers who set the roadmap ship it: projects are committed and delivered every quarter inside the partnership.
How much time do you get per month?
A monthly review call with your engineer, plus response within 4 business hours when something lands. The value isn't in hours. It's in having senior judgment available for the decisions that matter.
What if we need more support?
Larger builds are scoped as projects on top of the partnership, defined and priced in writing before work starts.
How do you work with our existing team?
We work alongside your team, providing direction and guardrails without replacing your people. Clear guidance raises your team's output; we don't take over their work.
What industries do you work with?
Businesses where technology decisions have real consequences: SaaS companies, service businesses with technical operations, and organizations navigating platform changes or scaling.
Is there a minimum commitment?
The partnership runs 12 months, then month-to-month. After the initial term, either party may end on 30 days written notice.
