What does a fractional CTO actually do?
Working with Wavect in Tirol
Tirol is the regional page, not a duplicate of Innsbruck. Wavect GmbH is registered in Ampass, and Kevin is based in Innsbruck. We can plan on-site work across the region, but the engagement still runs remote first because technical leadership should not depend on commuting.
Startup.Tirol supports research- and technology-driven companies through market-entry and scaling programs. Cluster IT Tirol describes a network spanning software, smart production, energy, mobility, health, and tourism applications. We use that breadth as context, not as permission to claim every Tyrolean company as our niche.
A fractional CTO fits when a digital product has engineers or suppliers but no senior person accountable for architecture, delivery, and technical risk. If you only need developers, hire developers. If nobody can make the technical call, that is the CTO gap.
Where the CTO gap shows up across Tirol
The company type matters less than the missing decision authority.
A technology startup has builders but no technical executive
The first 30 days across a regional team
We start with ownership, not a stack recommendation.
- Name the real ownersMap founders, internal teams, suppliers, funding commitments, and every system that currently falls between organisations.
- Build one technical risk orderRank security, reliability, architecture, staffing, and vendor risks against business impact instead of treating everything as urgent.
- Set the operating contractAgree decision rights, weekly reviews, escalation paths, and what a clean handover to a future full-time CTO must contain.

// 04How the network model works
Three things that make this different from hiring one consultant with one calendar.
You hire two founders, not one consultant.
Kevin and Christof are on every engagement. One is your product and CTO interface, the other is the senior engineer in the room. No account-manager handoff, no junior on the call after week three.
The bench scales when the work does.
15+ specialists we have shipped production work with. Security, zero-knowledge, mobile, ML, IoT. They plug in under the Wavect SoW. One contract, one invoice. We stay accountable for the outcome.
You stay in control of the contract.
Werkvertrag for fixed-price builds (signed scope, legally bound). Retainer for ongoing work (cancel any week). No hour tracking. No scope-creep invoices. The price you sign is the price you pay.

What clients say
If you're thinking about digitization of your company, tokenization, coding... you name it, I'd strongly recommend to get in touch with Kevin. His knowledge in the field is unparalleled and working with him a sheer pleasure as he is a super nice guy, strategic thinker and proactively hard worker. Thanks for your brilliant work Kev!
I got to know Kevin around 1 year ago and have been working together with him since then. His vast knowledge in tech and programming combined with his business acumen makes him the go-to person for me in regards to any tech-related topics. Regardless if it is a project in the field of blockchain, IoT, or any other software development domain, I can recommend reaching out to Kevin to benefit from his tech know-how and a business relationship based on trust and customer centricity.
Excellent work. The collaboration was very pleasant and you always had the feeling of being in good and capable hands.
