Executive technology judgement without the full-time hire. We own strategy, architecture, and hiring alongside your leadership team, at a cadence of 1 to 3 days a week. When a CTO leaves, we hold the role steady while you search properly.
Read more about Fractional and interim CTOMost early-stage and scaling companies don’t need another agency.
They need a senior technologist in the room, helping them decide what to build, how to build it, and who to hire to build it with them. That is the work Kodehort does.
We embed with founding teams rather than advise from a distance, and we are comfortable moving between boardroom strategy and production code in the same week.
A single workshop, a time-boxed experiment, or a seat on your board. Most clients arrive at one step and stay for the next.
What we do
Your team is capable and still stuck: delivery drags, practices slip, managers are learning on the job. We pair with your people, inside their real work, until the habits hold without us.
Read more about Technical and product team coachingYou have a validated idea and no engineering team. We immerse in the domain with you, test the assumptions that matter, build a pragmatic MVP, and hire your founding engineer.
Read more about Early-stage product bootstrappingA decision is blocked on an assumption nobody has tested. We design a time-boxed experiment, run it, and hand back evidence, not PowerPoint.
Read more about Prototyping and experimentationTechnology judgement at board level, once the engineering function runs without us. We read the board pack, ask the questions a technical non-exec should ask, and stay close enough to the team to know whether the answers are true.

A workshop built around your work rather than a syllabus. Engineering practice, product discovery, management, ways of working, and getting real value out of AI. Technical rooms and non-technical ones, on site or online.

How we work
Every engagement starts with discovery, and discovery never quite stops. Each round of build, measure and learn is checked against outcomes you write down with us, the plan improves as it goes, and we stay for as long as the work is worth what it costs you.
Discovery comes before architecture, and experiments come before production code. We prefer off-the-shelf where it doesn’t differentiate, custom-built where it does.
Our depth is in healthcare, insurtech, and venture-studio environments, with a track record of taking companies from concept through spin-out and further funding.
