The CTO you can't afford to hire. The team that comes with it.
A senior CTO in Paris costs €120-180K/year. You don't need one full-time, but you need their skills: tech choices, architecture, recruitment, technical management. Nearvik gives you access to a senior architect/CTO part-time, plus a complete development team in Casablanca. All for a fraction of the cost of a Paris team.
