A fractional CTO across the bridge, not across the country.
Why a local fractional CTO is different
A fractional CTO three time zones away answers questions tomorrow. One in your market answers them today, knows the local hiring pool and vendor landscape, and carries a reputation you can check with people you actually know.
We've served San Diego County companies from Coronado since 2015, on the same clock your team keeps.
What the engagement covers
- Recurring leadership sessions on a set cadence
- Honest evaluation of vendor quotes and agency proposals
- Ownership of your architecture, security, and technical roadmap
- Direction for your developers, contractors, or agency
- A codebase and infrastructure audit in the first weeks
- A retained engineering team behind every decision
Who you'd be working with
Brendan Ronan, our founder, handles fractional CTO engagements himself. He's been building software for over a decade, from Coronado since 2015.
Based on the island
Ecliptic Ideas has been registered and run from Coronado since 2015. Same time zone, same market, no offshore relay.
Fractional CTO of Wine Spies
Brendan is the fractional CTO of Wine Spies, an 8-figure wine e-commerce company and an Ecliptic Ideas client since 2016. See the case study.
Skin in the game
We run our own product, InsightLeap, so we live with the same kinds of decisions we recommend.
The full picture
The engagement itself is the same named offer we run for companies nationwide: cadence, scope, pricing, and a FAQ are all laid out on our fractional CTO services page. This page exists because being local changes how the engagement feels, and because plenty of San Diego companies would rather work with someone they can actually meet.
