How I Help

Fractional CTO

As a serial founder who has "been there, done that" I enjoy sharing that hard earned wisdom with others. Whether bootstrapped or VC funded, I've helped products get designed, built, and shipped. Through my consulting work, I've experienced dozens of technologies, industries, and go-to-market strategies. Over the years, I've helped shipped 14 products that have been loved by 1,000,000+ users.

Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

Whether you've got an idea, a rough prototype, or a product that just doesn't quite work the way you want, I can help. I've built and scaled products in more tech stacks and frameworks than I can count. Whether you're an indie hacker or a fledgling tech company, I can work alone, alongside your team, or pull in some people I trust to help you ship your product quickly and scalably.

Founder Coaching

I've coached founders and engineering team leaders to scale themselves both personally and professionally. Our conversations are focused on whatever problems are top of mind - personal, tactical, or otherwise. The core of this work is in finding balance between the strategic/systems challenges and the emotional/interpersonal challenges.

How We Work Together

The majority of my work is on a project-by-project basis. I work in fractional weekly increments (1/4 week is roughly 10 hours per week) at between $1K-$10K per week. Size, scope, complexity, urgency, and length of engagement are all factors in creating a plan that is a win-win. Send me an email at trav@koleva.dev to discuss your project. Even if working together doesn't make sense, I'm happy to chat and see if I can help you find someone who's a better fit.
