What is sfielder — Fractional CTO Services for Funded Startups

sfielder is the fractional CTO practice of Scott Fielder, offering venture-funded startups senior technical leadership on a monthly retainer — without the cost, equity, or six-month wait of a full-time CTO hire.

The Core Offering

sfielder provides working technical leadership to early-stage startups at the Seed through Series B stage. Scott Fielder embeds into the founding team as an accountable technical decision-maker — not an advisor who shows up once a month, and not a consultant who delivers a report and disappears.

Who It's For

Non-technical or semi-technical founders, co-founders, and CEOs
US-based, venture-funded startups (10–150 employees)
Companies in legal tech, health tech, fintech, B2B SaaS, or founder tools
Teams with no full-time CTO currently in the building

What Makes It Different

Most fractional resources are advisory-only. sfielder is operational. Scott participates in real meetings, makes real architecture calls, runs hiring processes, and is accountable for outcomes — the same things a full-time CTO would own, scoped to what the company actually needs right now.

No equity dilution
No six-month recruiting process
No full-time salary obligation
Immediate access to senior expertise
Scope adjusts as the company grows

The Problem It Solves

Engineering drifts when no senior technical leader is steering it. Founders become the de facto tech lead — a role they were never supposed to own. Bad architecture decisions compound quietly. Dev shops ship features but own no outcomes.

sfielder puts a senior, accountable technical leader in that gap — so the founder can run the business.
