Pelo Labs gives growth-stage businesses the senior technical leadership they're missing — someone who evaluates the AI tools, governs the vendors, and owns the roadmap, without the overhead of a full-time hire.
A scoped project — readiness assessment, tech audit, or vendor evaluation — that maps where you stand and what to do first.
Build vs. buy, which vendor, what order. Clear recommendations backed by an executive technical voice in the room.
An ongoing retainer keeps a fractional CTO watching your stack — vendors governed, risks flagged, roadmap moving.
Most growth-stage businesses lean on IT vendors and managed service providers for technology guidance — but an MSP isn't positioned to weigh a SaaS subscription against a custom build, or to understand what the business actually needs from its AI investment. That judgment call keeps landing on people whose job is something else entirely.
Every engagement is scoped and priced on its own — no retainer required to get started. Most clients discover the ongoing need for a fractional CTO somewhere in the middle of their first project.
Standalone, time-bounded deliverables that create immediate value.
An embedded fractional CTO watching your stack, so the next decision doesn't catch you flat-footed.
Pelo Labs is founder-led. Both Nathan and Sammy hold full-time roles alongside the practice — a deliberate constraint that keeps the client list short and the attention real.
We're opening a single pilot engagement to a business genuinely grappling with AI decisions — one where we can deliver a strong outcome and build the case study alongside it.
