We help founder-led and mid-market companies across Long Island and the New York metro use AI to cut costs, accelerate revenue, and outpace competitors — without hiring a full-time CTO or AI executive.
You're running a real business on Long Island with real revenue targets. You don't need an AI lecture — you need someone local who understands your market and can show you exactly where AI moves the needle.
"We spent six months and $400K on an AI initiative that produced a deck. We needed someone who could tell us what was actually possible — and what wasn't."
— CEO, Series B Fintech"We spent six months and $400K on an AI initiative that produced a deck. The Beach CTO helped us understand what was actually possible — and saved us from making the same mistake twice."
"Having fractional CTO support meant we could move fast without making expensive architectural decisions we'd regret. Worth every penny — and far less than a full-time hire."
"The executive AI coaching was a game changer. I went from feeling behind on AI to running our entire strategy review with AI-assisted analysis. My team noticed the difference immediately."
We work across the leading AI platforms — helping you choose the right tools for your needs, and getting the most out of them.
A full-time CTO costs $250K–$400K+ annually in salary, equity, and benefits — and takes months to hire. The Beach CTO gives you senior technology leadership on a flexible basis, starting in days. You get the strategic thinking without the overhead, and you can scale the engagement up or down as your needs change.
The sweet spot is founder-led companies between $5M and $200M in revenue — typically with 10 to 200 employees. These are companies that have real technology decisions to make but aren't yet at the scale where a full-time CTO is justified. PE-backed and growth-stage businesses are also a strong fit.
Not necessarily. Some clients have a VP of Engineering or a small dev team and need strategic leadership above them. Others have no technical staff at all and need help making smart vendor and build vs. buy decisions. The engagement is structured around your actual situation.
The free AI Readiness Call can typically be scheduled within a few days. If there's a fit, you'll have a one-page proposal within 48 hours and can be in a working session within the week. There's no lengthy procurement process or onboarding maze.
Yes — Long Island is our home market. We work with founder-led and mid-market companies across Nassau and Suffolk counties, as well as the broader New York metro. Being local means we understand the business landscape here: the industries, the competitive pressures from NYC, and the specific challenges facing Long Island companies trying to grow. Most engagements are a mix of in-person and remote.
Completely vendor-neutral. Recommendations are based entirely on what's right for your business, your team, and your budget. We work across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others — and have no financial incentive to push any particular platform.
