What “Fractional CTO” Really Means at Geniotek
We’re your extended CTO:
Own strategy & direction
challenge assumptions early to avoid costly mistakes
Bridge design-to-manufacturing realities
make ideas buildable from day one
Accountable for outcomes, not just deliverables
deliver real results, not just files
Co-founder depth. Consultant cost. Ideal for hardware teams.
Fractional CTO vs. Other Options
01
Product Concept Audit
We review your idea technically and commercially, often saving months and tens of thousands before heavy investment.
Includes
Major risks
Feasibility
Rough BOM/timeline/cost ranges
IP considerations
Clear"go/pivot /no-go" recommendation
Prioritized next steps
02
Product Innovation Development (Integrated ID)
We combine industrial design with mechanical engineering right from the start. We iterate quickly using 3D renders, mockups, and early DFM input — ensuring your vision stays strong and doesn't break during production.
Includes
Mechanical Engineering integration
Industrial Design (ID)
Aesthetics + manufacturability balance
Fast iteration with 3D renders & mockups
Early DFM feedback loops
Reality-proof design from day one
03
Product Prototype Development
We build high-fidelity prototypes — from appearance models to fully functional units with assembly tests. We handle SLA, CNC, vacuum casting, sheet metal, PCB integration — whatever your product needs — to validate user experience, mechanics, and core functions before any tooling decisions.
Includes
High-fidelity appearance models
Functional prototypes (working units)
Assembly & fit tests
SLA, CNC, vacuum casting, sheet metal
PCB integration & basic electronics
User experience & mechanics validation
04
Production Management
We handle the entire production phase with full transparency. From DFM/DFA deep optimization and vetted supplier coordination in Dongguan, to tooling oversight, first-article checks, pilot run supervision, and smooth quality handover — you always know exactly where things stand with real-time photos, videos, and progress reports.
Includes
Full DFM/DFA optimization
Supplier selection & qualification
Tooling management
First-article inspection
Small-batch pilot run supervision
Quality handover & documentation
