01 / The Problem

You know AI changes everything. You're just not sure what to build first.

Your team is stretched thin. You've seen the demos but can't connect them to your actual product. You don't need a 6-month "AI strategy" from a consulting firm.

You need someone who's shipped 50+ products to show up and start building.

02 / Operator
Justin McKelvey - Fractional CTO and AI implementation consultant

I'm Justin McKelvey.

15 years building software — from retail management in Vail ski shops to CTO at an AI startup, Head of Product at a national sports platform, and founder of my own companies.

Now I work with a handful of founders as a fractional CTO and AI product co-founder. That means I sit in your meetings, scope your features, find where AI creates real leverage, and help your team ship — fast.

I've helped partners generate $53M+ in revenue. I do whatever moves the needle fastest — code, product, team.

03 / Engagements

Fractional CTO Engagement Models

AI Kickstart

1 Week Embed

I embed with your team for a week. Audit your workflows, identify the highest-impact AI opportunities, scope the first quick win, and build it. You walk away with a prioritized roadmap and something already working.

Fractional Co-Founder

~8 Hrs / Week

Weekly check-ins, product and engineering meetings, feature scoping, AI integrations, team training, and honest gut-checks on your roadmap. The experienced technical co-founder you can't justify hiring full-time.

Product Sprint

Project-Based

Got something specific? A new feature, an internal tool, a workflow that needs rebuilding. I scope it tight, build it fast, ship it in weeks — not months.

04 / Capabilities

AI Implementation for Founders

Product

I know what to build, what to cut, and how to ship it in weeks. I've done zero-to-one more times than most people have done zero.

AI Integration

Not theory. I run my own companies on AI daily — code generation, content automation, internal tooling. I know what actually works and what's hype.

Speed

Most delays aren't technical — they're indecision. I make the calls other people committee to death.

05 / Operating Principles

This isn't consulting.

No decks. No frameworks. No 90-day discovery phase. I show up, I build, and things get shipped.

If I'm not adding obvious value, fire me. No long-term contracts, no guilt.
