Working with Wavect in Vienna

Vienna gives Wavect one practical advantage: Christof is based here. A board review or hiring panel can happen on-site without turning the retainer into an open-ended presence contract.

The city runs an international startup ecosystem. ViennaUP reported more than 14,000 participants from over 90 countries across 65 events in 2026. That says something about the density and international reach of the ecosystem. It does not prove that every Vienna startup is funded, regulated, or ready for a CTO.

Our line is simpler: bring us in when technical decisions need one accountable owner. We document the decision, its trade-offs, and who has to deliver it. No innovation theatre, no outsourced title with no authority.

// LOCAL FIT

Two Vienna situations where CTO authority matters

The common thread is not company size. It is technical accountability under stakeholder pressure.

A funded team is approaching diligence or a board decision

The product works, but architecture, security, delivery risk, or hiring cannot be explained cleanly. We turn the technical state into decisions and evidence, then own the remediation order.

Internal engineers and vendors are pulling in different directions

A roadmap exists, but nobody has the authority to settle build-versus-buy, integration, platform, or ownership disputes. We make the call and stay accountable for the technical outcome.
// FIRST 30 DAYS

The first 30 days with a Vienna team

The output is a functioning decision system, not a slide deck about digital transformation.

  1. Establish the technical truth
    Review code, infrastructure, incidents, vendors, security obligations, delivery promises, and what the board currently believes.
  2. Close the decision backlog
    Resolve the architecture, ownership, hiring, and vendor questions blocking the next milestone.
  3. Make reporting useful
    Introduce a short board-ready risk view, named owners, and a weekly engineering cadence that exposes slippage early.
// ROLE CHECK

Does the Vienna gap sit in product or engineering?

Hire the Fractional CTO when architecture, delivery, hiring, vendors, or production have no owner. Hire the Fractional CPO Vienna when the post-PMF roadmap and discovery cadence are the problem. Use the Fractional CTPO when one person must own both.

Fractional CTO Vienna: local questions

Local access without a fake office story.

Christof is based in Vienna; Wavect GmbH is registered in Ampass, Tirol. We do not present a founder’s location as a separate company office. Day-to-day work is remote, and useful on-site sessions are quoted separately.
Yes, as part of an agreed scope. We can explain architecture, delivery risk, security work, hiring, and the remediation plan. We do not manufacture a clean bill of health. If the evidence is weak, the board gets the weak evidence and a plan to fix it.
