Design That Converts.
Experiences That Scale.
data-driven design, and human behavior insight.
A product founder sitting with a
“virtual CTO” on a dashboard view — strategic planning meets technical design.
The Problem: Every Startup Needs a CTO, But Few Can Afford One
You have a product idea. Maybe even a team.
But what you don’t have is technical direction.
And without it, you face problems like:
Hiring a full-time CTO costs $150K–$300K/year — often before you even have revenue.
CTO-as-a-Service (CaaS) gives you the same expertise, minus the overhead.
You get a senior technology partner focused on making your product scalable,
predictable, and investor-ready — without hiring risk.
What CTO-as-a-Service
Really Is
CTO-as-a-Service means you rent experience, not just resources.
It’s like having a fractional Chief Technology Officer — available part-time or project-based — to
lead your product and tech strategy.
At Avaantra, your virtual CTO acts as:
A strategic partner aligning tech decisions with business goals.
A strategic partner aligning tech decisions with business goals.
A technical architect defining scalable systems.

A growth enabler ensuring your tech supports revenue goals.

A mentor for your internal development team.

We help founders go from “what should we build next?” to “here’s how we’ll scale to 10x users predictably.”
