Startup Advisory
Exceptia Startup Advisory gives non-technical founders a fractional CTO they can trust, and gives angel investors a clear-eyed technical read on what they're actually backing — before and after the cheque is written.
Fractional CTO support, build-readiness reviews, and plain-English technical coaching so you can speak to investors and your own team with confidence.
Technical due diligence ahead of a round, and ongoing technical oversight for portfolio companies once you're in.
Grounded in having built and led technology through banking-grade delivery discipline — and having founded a startup myself.
An independent, plain-English read on a startup's tech stack, team and architecture ahead of an angel or seed round.
Hands-on technical leadership for non-technical founders — architecture, vendor decisions, hiring, without a full-time hire.
Is the product actually ready to scale, or is it a demo held together with good intentions? We tell you honestly.
Helping non-technical founders understand and confidently explain their own technology to investors and boards.
Ongoing, lightweight technical monitoring across a portfolio — so risk surfaces before it becomes a crisis.
A technical voice at the table for board meetings, major build decisions, and platform strategy.
Real track record, not just advisory theory.
"Founded and built Menugusto, a restaurant technology venture — the same position most Exceptia Startup clients are in when we start working together."
Named client and investor case studies to follow as engagements are completed and cleared for publication.
A free initial call to understand the stack, the team, and the immediate risk or question at hand.
A due diligence report for investors, or a scoped advisory engagement for founders — whichever fits.
Fractional CTO support or portfolio oversight, for as long as it's useful.
