Fractional technical leadership for PropTech

Don't let a long recruitment process harm your momentum

Your PropTech roadmap can't wait for a 6-month search for a CPO or CTO. Whether you're scaling after funding, replacing a departing leader, or need senior expertise before you can justify a permanent hire, your product development needs experienced leadership today.

We provide immediate fractional leadership services specifically for PropTech and geospatial product companies. With over 20 years building location intelligence platforms, property valuation systems, and spatial analytics products, we understand both your technology challenges AND your business domain.

Whether you're building a property valuation platform, portfolio analytics tool, spatial risk system, asset management application, or mapping solution, we can hit the ground running at any stage, from gathering requirements through final countdown to launch.

What makes PropTech leadership different

Generic fractional technical leaders understand software development. We understand software development and the complexity of real estate technology:

• How spatial data and mapping applications should behave and perform at scale
• Which geospatial approaches work for development professionals versus which look good in demos
• How to integrate planning constraints, valuation models, design thinking, and risk assessment into usable products
• What property investors, developers, and planners actually need from technology
• The regulatory and compliance requirements specific to real estate

This domain expertise means we make better architecture decisions, ask better questions, and deliver products that solve real business problems, not just respond to technical specifications.

How we help

Strategic technology direction: Work with your team to define a realistic product roadmap, prioritize features based on business value, make build-versus-buy decisions, and establish technical standards that position you for growth.

Team leadership and development: Embed with your engineering teams to accelerate delivery, remove blockers, establish Agile practices, and mentor developers. We develop your team's capabilities while delivering results.

Critical architecture decisions: Choose the right stack, establish data pipelines, design for scale, integrate mapping platforms, and create maintainable, modular systems that won't become legacy problems.

Product delivery acceleration: Turn stuck projects into shipping products. We identify what's blocking progress, re-focus teams on essentials, and establish sustainable velocity.

Stakeholder communication: Translate between technical teams and business leadership. Provide board-ready reporting, manage expectations realistically, and communicate progress in business terms.

Engagement models

We offer complete flexibility to match your needs:

• Bridge leadership: Cover the gap while recruiting a permanent CPO or CTO (typically 3-6 months)
• Sprint-based support: Join for specific initiatives, features, launches, or crisis periods
• Ongoing fractional: Regular embedded leadership (e.g., 2-3 days per week) for sustained growth
• Available at short notice: We can start immediately when opportunities or challenges don't wait for lengthy procurement

Trust and integrity

To protect your strategic interests, engagements include robust terms to ensure that we do not work with your direct competitors (from the same PropTech sub-sector or target customer base) for the duration of our partnership and for a cooling-off period thereafter. We vet new enquiries against existing clients to ensure that there is never a conflict of interest.

Our background

Our leadership experience spans PropTech, construction tech, and geospatial applications, with deep expertise in taking complex location-based products to market. We've co-founded PropTech companies and built award-winning location intelligence platforms.

We bring real practical experience of building the products you're trying to create, and while we like a good theoretical framework, we don't rely on them.
