The Challenge

A rapidly growing B2B SaaS company had accumulated significant technical debt while scaling from 2M to 15M ARR. Their engineering team was spending 60% of capacity on maintenance rather than new product development.

The Solution

Engaged as Fractional CTO with two parallel workstreams: a technical debt reduction programme and an AI product strategy - integrating large language models into three core product features and building the data infrastructure to support future AI capability.

Key Outcomes

  • Engineering capacity on new development increased from 40% to 70% within 6 months
  • Three AI-powered features shipped within 9 months
  • NPS increased by 23 points following AI feature releases
  • Series B fundraise of 18M completed with technology strategy as a key value driver
