Question 1

What is a Fractional CTO?

Accepted Answer

A Fractional CTO in 2026 isn't just executive leadership—it's deploying an autonomous development infrastructure into your organization. You get a CTO who brings multi-agent orchestration systems that produce SOC 2-auditable, HITRUST-certified code at 10x traditional velocity. Strategic guidance backed by agentic platforms that reason about architecture, security, and compliance simultaneously.

Question 2

How is KYE Ventures different from a dev agency?

Accepted Answer

Traditional dev agencies are obsolete. While they write code, our agentic platform produces compliance-certified, institutional-grade software autonomously. We deploy multi-agent orchestration systems that generate, review, and validate code simultaneously—all while maintaining audit trails and security certifications. Every line produced passes through autonomous compliance validation and security scanning. This is the difference between hiring developers and deploying an autonomous development infrastructure.

Question 3

What industries do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

We have deep experience in FinTech, AdTech, HealthTech, and Philanthropy—industries where compliance isn't optional. Our agentic platform specializes in complex, regulated applications where SOC 2, HIPAA, and HITRUST certification are table stakes. Multi-agent systems handle the complexity of financial regulations, healthcare privacy, and enterprise security requirements automatically.

Question 4

Do you work with early-stage startups?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Early-stage companies benefit most from agent-native architecture designed from inception. We help founders avoid the technical debt of traditional development by deploying autonomous development infrastructure from day one. Your MVP comes with compliance certification, audit trails, and the ability to scale without rewrites—because our agents build it right the first time.

Question 5

What is included in Technical Advisory?

Accepted Answer

Technical Advisory evaluates your readiness for agent-native development. We assess your current infrastructure for multi-agent integration, design orchestration strategies, and build AI-first technical roadmaps. You receive an agent-readiness assessment, multi-agent architecture blueprint, compliance automation roadmap, and transformation timeline for transitioning to 10x velocity development.

Question 6

How does the engagement start?

Accepted Answer

Every engagement begins with Ethos Discovery: assessing your agent-readiness and mapping compliance requirements. We evaluate your infrastructure for multi-agent integration, design the orchestration architecture, and plan the transition to autonomous development. You receive an agent-readiness report, compliance automation blueprint, and multi-agent architecture design before any development begins.

Question 7

How long does an MVP take to build?

Accepted Answer

Our agentic platform produces MVPs in 10-20 weeks total: 2-4 weeks of Ethos Discovery (agent-readiness assessment), 2-3 weeks of Architecture Design (multi-agent orchestration), and 8-16 weeks of Software Alchemy (autonomous development). The platform generates, validates, and deploys code simultaneously—shipping compliance-certified, production-ready software at 10x traditional velocity.

Question 8

What is the typical project timeline?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary by engagement type. Fractional CTO deployments are ongoing as we continuously evolve your autonomous development infrastructure. Application Development follows our four-phase process with the agentic platform producing code throughout. The multi-agent systems work 24/7, so actual development velocity far exceeds traditional timelines.

Question 9

Do you work in sprints?

Accepted Answer

Our agentic platform operates continuously, but we organize human touchpoints in two-week sprints. During Software Alchemy, multi-agent systems generate and validate code autonomously while you have visibility through real-time dashboards, automated reports, and sprint reviews. The platform ships production-ready, compliance-validated code every sprint.

Question 10

How is pricing structured?

Accepted Answer

We offer three models: monthly retainers for ongoing Fractional CTO and agentic platform deployment, fixed-price for scoped agent-orchestrated projects, and time-and-materials for [EXTEND] augmentation with agent-assisted engineers. All engagements start with paid Ethos Discovery to assess agent-readiness and design your multi-agent architecture.

Question 11

What is the minimum engagement?

Accepted Answer

The minimum engagement is a single Ethos Discovery phase (2-4 weeks). This provides your agent-readiness assessment, compliance automation blueprint, and multi-agent architecture design. You can execute this with any development team—though without the agentic platform, you won't achieve 10x velocity or automatic compliance certification.

Question 12

Do you take equity?

Accepted Answer

In select cases, yes. When we deploy our agentic platform and invest capital alongside it, we often take equity positions. The code our agents produce is the same code our money depends on. For standard client engagements, we primarily work on cash-based contracts, evaluating equity arrangements for high-conviction opportunities where our platform can drive exceptional value.

Question 13

What compliance certifications do you support?

Accepted Answer

Our agentic platform produces SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and HITRUST-certified code from day one. Multi-agent systems embed compliance controls directly into the development process: every commit passes through autonomous validation, audit trails are maintained automatically, and compliance drift is detected and remediated in real-time.

Question 14

Can you help with SOC 2 certification?

Accepted Answer

Our agentic platform doesn't just help—it guarantees SOC 2 readiness. Compliance agents validate every line of code against SOC 2 controls, maintain continuous audit trails, and generate certification documentation automatically. The multi-agent system implements encryption, access controls, and monitoring while producing the evidence auditors require.

Question 15

Do you build HIPAA-compliant systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our agentic platform specializes in healthcare systems that handle Protected Health Information (PHI). Compliance agents enforce HIPAA safeguards at the code level: encryption, access controls, audit logging, and breach detection are validated automatically. Every deployment comes with agent-generated documentation proving HIPAA compliance.

Question 16

How do you integrate AI into products?

Accepted Answer

We don't just integrate AI—we deploy multi-agent orchestration platforms. Our systems use specialized agents for different tasks: code generation agents, security validation agents, compliance checking agents, and performance optimization agents. These aren't simple LLM wrappers but sophisticated autonomous systems that reason about code quality, security, and compliance simultaneously.

Question 17

What AI technologies do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Our agentic platform orchestrates multiple AI models including GPT-4, Claude, open-source LLMs, and specialized models for code generation and validation. We deploy vector databases for semantic search, multi-agent communication protocols, and autonomous reasoning systems. The platform selects and coordinates models based on task requirements, compliance needs, and performance targets.

Question 18

Can you modernize existing systems with AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our agentic platform transforms legacy codebases into agent-orchestrated architectures. Multi-agent systems perform automated assessment, compliance remediation, and incremental modernization. The platform identifies technical debt, generates fixes, and validates changes—all while maintaining production stability and building comprehensive audit trails.
