What is Vibe CTO?
Vibe CTO is a fractional technical leadership service for AI-first teams that need architecture, security, code review, and hiring judgment without a full-time CTO hire.
Vibe CTO · service
No AI team yet? We'll build your MVP. Free.
We build your full-stack AI product in ~2 weeks, then provide CTO-level judgment for 3 months — which agents to build, how the core layer is architected, whether the infra is production-ready. We build on the same platform we sell you.
