Metamindz Logo

Recruitment, events, and outsourcing - all managed by hands-on CTOs

"Metamindz helped us recruit our now CTO, reviewing CVs as they came in and then putting the CTO through a thorough 90-minute live 360 technical test. Feedback from our now CTO of the test was glowing and comms from Metamindz throughout the entire process were excellent. Highly recommend!"

The Problem

Non-tech people are selling you tech services today, so you find yourself micromanaging or wasting your team's time.

  • Recruitment - done by people that have never seen a line of code.
  • Development - managed by non-tech account managers.
  • Events - done by events people, not tech people.

They have no idea what they're doing, and you're paying the price.

Our Solution

We do everything CTO-led and tech-led.

  • Recruitment - actual devs / Engineering Managers / CTOs review and approve the CVs, and conduct technical screening calls.
  • Development? We include an Engineering Manager / fCTO with every build.
  • Events? We run tech events, planned and arranged by actual tech people.

Here's how we can help

CTO-Led Development

CTO-Led Development

UK and Europe based development teams, led by a fractional CTO

You worked with outsourcing agencies before, and, most likely, you had a bad experience. This happened to our founder too. This is why our outsourcing is different from all others; It always starts with a fractional CTO session, in order to fully dive into the context of your business and existing tech stack. It continues to a proper, lean, and scaleable software architecture (if needed), and we then assign the right developers from our team, guided by our technical project manager and CTO, to work with you directly. We will be in the same Slack workspace, have weekly catch ups, and send you preview links and daily updates. We are hungry for feedback, and will always work together, as a team, to deliver results - just like the best in-house team would do.

Key Benefits:

  • Core team includes a CTO and a technical project manager
  • Flexible retainers on an hourly / monthly basis
  • Code reviews by our team are included
  • Pricing that makes sense, with full accountability

We believe in "Show, Don't Tell"

See what our clients have to say.

We've worked with Lev and Metamindz for several months, both in a fractional CTO role and on recruitment. They've been excellent throughout, responsive, easy to work with, and highly capable. I couldn't recommend them enough source

Google review

We have been working with Lev and his team on various projects. They are not only knowledgeable, but genuinely lovely people, easy to talk to and will deliver what they promise. Supporting small businesses and e-commerce brands is their speciality so I wouldn't go anywhere else with our next project. source

Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike traditional agencies, every project at Metamindz is managed by a CTO. We don't use non-technical account managers. Our fractional CTOs are hands-on, diving deep into codebases and working practices. We're also honest about when you might not need us, suggesting the right team member or partner instead.

We work across industries including E-commerce, SaaS, Healthtech, and consumer-facing apps. Our clients range from seed-stage funded startups to enterprise-level companies, with locations in the UK, US, Europe, and the Middle East.

Our recruitment is led by CTOs and senior developers who understand the technical requirements. They conduct technical interviews, assess code quality, and ensure candidates fit both the technical and cultural needs of your team.

A fractional CTO is an experienced technical leader who works with you part-time, typically 4-20 hours per month. You need one when you need senior technical leadership but don't require or can't afford a full-time CTO. They help with architecture decisions, team assessment, hiring, and deep technical reviews.

Yes! We work with companies that already have tech teams. Our fractional CTOs can assess your current team, help with hiring additional members, review codebases, and provide strategic technical guidance without disrupting your existing operations.

We start with a no-obligation discovery call where you can get free CTO advice, and where we can understand what is the best service and value we can provide to you. If we're a good fit, and based on your needs, we'll agree on the right service (recruitment, outsourcing, fractional CTO subscription, tech due-diligence or a mixture of these), and we'll then suggest the right people from our team and agree on the scope of work. We will provide you with an estimate and suggested next steps, and get going as soon as possible. We're flexible and can adjust the service model based on your needs.
