Freelance Consulting CTOs London

YOUR EXPERIENCED CTO, WITHOUT THE PRICE TAG

You have the idea, we know how to make it happen.

We are Rocket Surgeon: a London-based tech consultancy providing CTO services and tech advice to entrepreneurs, startups and companies. Our mission is to create a better and clearer interface between the techies and the non-techies. You bring your idea for a technology you want to build or a problem you need solving, we sit together and analyse the challenges, suggest various solutions, look at your budget and time constraints and collect the information required for making your technology a success – because each client is unique, and no plan can be used twice. If needed, we go back to our lair and read articles full of technical terms and long code samples and then come back with a plan you can understand and implement to reach your goals.

Besides helping you plan, we can lead the technical aspect of the project: instructing and seamlessly coordinating the different tech professionals (such as designers, developers, user experience experts, database administrators and more), and making sure you end up with a great product on time and on budget. Technology can be daunting, so we are here to clarify the jargon, decipher developers, and help you make smart and cost-effective decisions.
Because that's what Rocket Surgeons do.

Our Services

Consulting CTOs - Technology Management
Technology Management
We can lead the technological aspect of the project and deliver a beautiful end product by instructing and seamlessly coordinating the different development professionals such as designers, developers, user experience experts, database administrators and more.

Freelance CTO - Idea Validation
Idea validation
You have a great idea for a new tech solution - this is a great start!
We can advise and check if this technology already exists, suggest ways to improve it, estimate the complexity of the tech project, and introduce existing solutions to connect it with.
We can also estimate the technological challenges you might encounter during the development and consult on how to prepare for them in advance. Many entrepreneurs and decision makers are discouraged from pursuing their vision because they don’t know how to start or if their idea can even be developed. Rocket Surgeon is where you start up your startup.
Startup - Software Architecture
Software Architecture
For large projects, we recommend creating a system requirements (SRS) and system design specifications (SDS). These documents will allow the technological and non-technological teams to communicate better throughout the process. We create the SRS with the client, based on the business requirements, and derive the SDS from it.
The SRS and SDS help you have control over the technology by understanding the complexity of the modules, assessing the technical requirements and oversee the timetable at any stage of it. For smaller projects or if you need implementation guidance, we will be your and your team's consultants on architecture, structure, and technology implementation.
Startup CTOs - Team structure and recruitment
Team structure & recruitment
You have an idea and a roadmap for its execution, now you need a team. We have the experience in planning the organization's structure, in assessing the knowledge level needed for each role, and in finding the balance between quality and price. This way you will get the best value for money in the critical stages of your tech startup or technological solution.
No matter if your need full-time employees or plan to use contractors, freelancers, or Outsourcing, we can help you find the best people for the job.
Tech Advisers - Solution implementation
Solution implementation
If you are a tech or non-tech company that needs to implement an existing solution, there is no need for you to waste your or your employees' valuable time and resources by learning the new technology, experimenting with it and finding if it is good for you. Rocket Surgeon has years of experience in reading technical documents, comparing technologies and finding alternatives that will give you the best value for money. We will consult you on implementing the right solution for the right price, in the right time frame.
Technology Consulting - Assessment Services
Assessment Services
If you are looking into a technology company or startup to invest in, we will be happy to advise and do the technological part of the research. We can help you assess the idea, the business opportunity and the structure and professionalism of the employees. We can also check that a similar solution doesn't already exist. We could also come up with ideas to make the product better, suggest practices for better productivity and bring up ideas to make the company profitable through paid features or plans.
Freelance Consulting CTOs - Investor Pitch
Investor Pitch
The way you pitch your tech idea to potential investors may very much determine if you get the funding you need. It will also affect the equity you will have to give away.
The pitch does not need to be heavy with technological terms, but it needs to show you know the field, have professional backing, and can deliver the things you promise.
Rocket Surgeon is here for exactly that! We will plan the pitch with you, discuss existing technologies that can assist or interfere, think about questions that the investor might ask, and even come to the pitching meeting or be available on the phone to answer technical questions.

Why Rocket Surgeon

Putting your technology on the launch pad

We share a common goal - to change the world through technology

At Rocket Surgeon, we bring not only our brain but also our heart to the project's operating table. We don't believe in problems,we believe in challenges - and we love tackling those!
With a background in programming and experience in business management as a CTO, Rocket Surgeon's owner and CEO, Oliver Kraus has seen technology from both the ‘factory floor’ and at management level. After spending 8 years in a CTO role growing a startup he was part of himself, Oliver decided to help other tech startups, companies and entrepreneurs build and grow their dreams. You may not need a full time CTO for your business, but having someone with that experience to call upon could save you from making costly mistakes; this is where we come in.

It’s all too easy for a startup or a business to spend a devastating amount of money because of one wrong move, and in the field of technology this can be easily done. For example, if the wrong developers are hired, an app is built in the wrong technology, if the wrong database is used, you may find out you need to rewrite half of your code. These mistakes, made early on, can have huge implications years down the line. Instead of wasting this time and money, We can help you avoid making these mistakes and drive forward to success.

Rocket Surgeon was created to address the need of entrepreneurs and companies for a knowledgeable and trustworthy technology executive; someone who will ignite a process, give advice or execute a specific technological solution. We don't expect you to know how to talk tech, this is our job. Instead, you can tell us your plans and ideas and we will translate them to technical requirements that can be understood by your tech crowd.
