Midnight CTO

Serving early-stage startups ready to scale beyond prototypes, and

growth-stage companies blocked by technical chaos

Does this sound like you?

Your team doesn't know how to make AI tools live up to the hype
You keep shipping increments instead of the big swings of your strategic vision
You seem to need to rebuild something from the ground up every couple months
Every investor asks about why you aren't going faster, and you don't know how to answer
Your MVP breaks whenever a reasonable number of users log in
Features are taking weeks instead of days, due to "technical debt"

Strategic Tech Leadership That Builds Your Capabilities

We don't just solve problems - we build your team's capability to prevent them. Midnight CTO can teach your team how to work together to build your vision.
