ROLES

Fractional Co-Founder

A product-minded technical operator who joins your company part-time on a co-founder-like contract, in the trenches, until you can afford or attract a full-time replacement.

Fractional Co-Founder is Wavect’s flagship service and it is exactly what it sounds like. We embed at the level a co-founder would: product strategy, technical architecture, sprint planning, customer calls, board prep. We do not show up with a tracked-hours timesheet. We show up with the outcome.

Pricing is 400 EUR per week, cancel any week, no notice, no exit fee. If we do not blow you away, the last week is refunded. We do this because the wrong fit costs both sides too much. A two-week trial that ends cleanly is a better outcome than a six-month contract that limps.

We are not for everyone. If you need a body to grind tickets, hire a contractor. If you need someone to challenge your roadmap, sit on a hard architecture decision with you at 11pm on a Sunday, and tell you when your favorite feature is the wrong one, this is the shape of engagement you want.

FAQs

A fractional CTO is a technical leader on a part-time contract. A fractional co-founder is the same plus product strategy, customer conversations, and a willingness to act like an owner instead of a contractor. The work overlaps; the posture does not.
Default is cash. Equity is on the table for the right company at the right stage, but we will not pressure either side into it on the first call.
We help you hire your full-time replacement and step out cleanly. That is the goal from day one.
