Context:
We’re working with a company that helps growth stage and pre-IPO companies with executive level finance strategy in a consulting capacity. They are building a product driven by the needs of their current book of business to help these companies organize and disseminate their financials on a quarterly basis in variety of different forms for different stakeholders - c-level groups, divisions heads, boards, external investors, etc.
They are currently developing a low-code prototype and they’re looking for an advisor to help them understand how they should be proceeding here and when they should pivot to a full-fledged web app. This role has the potential to convert into a fractional CTO role over the course of the coming months depending on the traction generated by the prototype.
