A fractional CTO who actually builds.
The Tech Bay (TECHBAY SARL-AU) is a product studio in Agadir, Morocco. A fractional CTO who ships — architecture, build, and production — for founders and tech/innovation leaders across France, Morocco, Africa, and the UAE.
What this is not
Most fractional CTOs advise. The Tech Bay ships. The commercial seat is fractional CTO: architecture, the build, hires, and calls — with product judgment in the same seat. The Tech Bay does not sell a separate CPO title. The Tech Bay does not do distribution or fundraising.
What the build covers
- Design UX → UI → design systems, multi-actor information architecture
- Mobile iOS shipping, App Store distribution, in-app subscriptions, push
- Web React / Vite / TypeScript — customer product + internal tools
- Backend APIs, async workers, third-party integrations, webhook handling
- Data schema design, row-level security, pgvector, realtime, migrations
- AI / LLM orchestration, retrieval, embeddings, AI-augmented pipelines
- Infra provisioning, security posture, observability, cost stewardship
- Payments Stripe, RevenueCat, subscription + billing webhooks
- i18n multilingual UI, content systems, and multi-market expansion

Frequently asked questions
How is a fractional CTO different from a dev agency?
An agency sells hours and handoffs across roles. The Tech Bay is one accountable build engine — design through production ops — with founder-grade ownership. You get continuity, not a rotating bench.
How is Build + Lead different from advisory fractional CTOs?
Most fractional CTOs review code and run calls. The Tech Bay writes the code, owns the architecture, and ships to production — the same engine behind products on the public shelf.
Do you work with non-technical founders?
Often. The Tech Bay translates business goals into shipped software — you bring market insight and distribution; the studio brings the build.
Do you work with startups in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?
Yes. We work remotely with founders and tech teams in the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi), primarily in English (French on request). You get a fractional CTO who ships — product judgment and ownership of the build — not a staffing bench.
Can you support teams in Lagos, Nairobi, Cape Town, Accra, or Kigali remotely?
Yes. The Tech Bay partners remotely with funded startups and serious companies across English- and French-speaking African tech hubs. Engagements stay scoped (Ship Sprint, Build + Lead, or Innovation Partner) with clear weekly capacity.
Is this a fractional CTO or more of a product / CPO engagement?
The commercial seat is fractional CTO: architecture, the build, hires, and calls — with product judgment in the same seat. We don't sell a separate CPO title. If your gap is primarily roadmap theatre with no build ownership, we're not the fit.
How to start
Build + Lead is the ongoing fractional CTO seat — €7,800 per month, about 20 hours per week. Ship Sprint is the focused build — from €6,200 per month, about 16 hours per week, typically 6–8 weeks to a shippable v1.
