Fractional CTO seeking early-stage B2B SaaS founders

I'm looking to partner with 1–2 early-stage B2B SaaS founders as a fractional CTO / technical partner.

Best fit if:

You're building a serious B2B SaaS product
You have a clear problem, niche, or early customer conversations
You need someone to own product + tech decisions, not just write code
You want someone who takes full ownership of the technical side
You want someone who can own the product end to end, whether you're at zero or already live and looking to scale

I've been building software since 2019 — started at a service-based startup, then an HFT firm, then spent 3 years as the founding engineer of the Python team at a legaltech B2B SaaS startup. Built products from scratch there, automated manual workflows, cut weeks of work down to hours.

Left my full-time job in May 2024 to work with early-stage founders as their technical partner — and that's what I've been doing since.

Worked with 6+ startups across India, US, and Dubai. Built 7+ products, worked directly with 5+ founders across legaltech and B2B SaaS. Some reached paying customers. One got LOIs from law firms before we even launched. One shipped its MVP and the founder chose to shut it down.

I'm not a developer you assign tickets to. Not a consultant who only advises. I am your technical co-founder on demand — product decisions, MVP scope, and execution from zero to launch.

Retainer + small equity. No equity-only.

If you're building something serious, need technical ownership, or just want to know more about how I can help — happy to talk.

    Hello, nice to read about you! I did this two projects as side projects while I am working full time. what's your thoughts on same, your advise would be highly appreciated! Automationglance and Universeglance, if you interested we can discuss further!

    Big difference between someone who can code and someone who can actually make product decisions. Way too many startups learn that one the expensive way.

    1. 1

      Exactly most founders believe anyone who can code or is working in some big tech company can build there product from scratch. But in reality building and shipping things from 0 requires lot more then just the code. In early stage decisions and tradeoffs play major role and code part is very less. Most of the time when startups realise this 6-7 months are already wasted along with the capital, which both if used smartly can shape better product future.

    Also happy to answer questions in the comments — around MVP scope, tech stack decisions, what to build now vs what to handle later, or how to avoid over-engineering / under-engineering in the early stage.

    Short version:

    Over-engineering delays learning.
    Under-engineering creates rebuilds.

    Both cost founders time, money, and momentum.

    I’ve written about this in more detail here:
