CTO

Innovate where it matters, and no where else.

Peter Sankauskas

Hi, I'm Peter, and I provide strategic technology leadership & practical, hands-on guidance to startups.

Let's chat

Together, let's build your ideal product roadmap, scale your engineering team, and solve your toughest technical challenges.

As a former CTO and VP of Engineering, I've led teams through growth, pivots, and acquisitions. My experience spans B2B SaaS, mobile, live-streaming, and developer tools.

Now, I help talented founders like you bridge the gap between vision and execution.

What I Do

  • Technology strategy and roadmap planning
  • Team leadership and mentoring
  • Technical due diligence and architecture reviews
  • Scaling engineering teams and processes
  • Interim CTO for transitions, pivots, or acquisitions
  • Create/manage your budget and vendor contracts

Every engagement is tailored to your company's unique needs and growth stage.

What I Don't Do

  • Work with pre-seed or pre-funding companies
  • Equity only engagements
  • Full-time roles
  • Participate in on-call rotations

I focus on strategic, high-impact engagements for growing startups.

How It Works

First, I listen and understand your unique situation - product, roadmap, team, and culture. Then I...

  • Work a fixed, part-time schedule that is embedded within your team
  • Create and document processes for easy transitions
  • Have weekly syncs with founders
  • Provide 1:1 coaching with engineers and leaders
  • Manage execution speed and improve outcomes

Why It Works

Engineers won't follow leaders they don't respect. I have the depth, breath and curiosity needed to earn my seat at the table.

I've been a CTO, run product and engineering, and coached teams through growth, pivots, acquisitions, and chaos. I know what great looks like, and I know how you can achieve it.

If your startup needs a technical leader to get you to the next level, we should talk.
