A CTO for your company, without the full-time salary.
The CoreInsight Group is a fractional CTO practice. We help you make sound decisions about architecture, hiring, vendors, and AI, on the schedule your business needs.
20+ years of hands-on engineering leadership, from first prototype to production at scale.
Who this is for
Companies that depend on software but don't have a full-time technical leader, or aren't ready to hire one.
Funded startups
Pre-seed to Series A teams with a non-technical founder, an agency-built product, or a first engineering hire on the way.
Established businesses
Operating companies that rely on software but have no one in the room who owns technical decisions.
Teams adopting AI
Leaders who want to use AI and agentic development tools without adding risk to their product, data, or budget.

About
The CoreInsight Group is led by an engineering executive with more than 20 years of experience building and leading software teams, including time as CTO of early-stage startups.
We also build and ship our own products, including a real estate web platform, an iOS app, and a mobile app for youth sports coaches. Our team uses agentic AI development workflows, including Claude Code, every day, so our advice on AI comes from hands-on use.
You always work directly with a senior leader. We're based in Middle Tennessee and work remotely with teams across the country.
