What does a consulting engagement look like?+
Typically: a 2-hour discovery session, followed by a written recommendations report (architecture, stack, prioritisation, team), and then ongoing advisory on a weekly or monthly retainer. We tailor the engagement to your specific questions.
Can you act as a fractional CTO?+
Yes β€” fractional CTO engagements include: technology strategy, architecture decisions, vendor reviews, hiring interviews, investor technical Q&A, and standing meetings with your founding team.

Client Reviews

What clients say about our work

"

Nexcode's technical audit identified three architectural issues our team had missed. Their roadmap saved us from a Β£400k rewrite by showing us how to migrate incrementally. Best investment before our Series B.

"Technical due diligence on a Β£2M acquisition target. Found critical debt the sellers had obscured. Saved us from a very costly mistake. Worth 100x the consulting fee."
