ABOUT FASTCTO

A network of real CTOs and Senior Developers.

We don't make a profit from startups. How does that work? We collaborate with a wide range of companies, from very early stage, pre-revenue startups to established Series D+ unicorns, investors, acquirers, accelerators, and more. Our aim when partnering with startups is to keep our costs as low as possible, with minimal profit margins (around 10-15% compared to the industry's typical 50-70%), only enough to cover our operational expenses. Sometimes, our low burn rate leads to unexpected profits, which we then invest back into startups through an angel fund. For our other clients, who can afford to pay more, our rates are slightly higher but still considerably lower than the industry average. For instance, our due diligence services typically cost about 70% less than those offered by larger or boutique firms. Working with venture capitalists, private equity firms, and others helps us sustain our no-profit model with startups, benefiting the entire startup ecosystem.

About the Team

OUR STORY
FastCTO partners with a diverse range of clients, including early-stage startups, established unicorns, investors, acquirers, and accelerators. Committed to supporting startups, they offer services at minimal margins—approximately 10-15%, far below the industry norm of 50-70%—aiming only to cover operational costs. Occasionally, when profits occur due to low expenses, these funds are redirected into an angel investment fund to support new ventures. For more established clients able to invest more, FastCTO charges slightly higher rates, yet still markedly below typical market fees; for instance, due diligence services are around 70% less expensive compared to major or boutique firms. By collaborating across this spectrum, FastCTO sustains its mission-driven work with startups, fostering growth and strengthening the entire startup ecosystem.
