Looking for a fractional CTO in Berlin or an interim CTO in Germany without a six-month executive search? Unrealists is based in Berlin. We work with local teams on site when it helps and with international product companies across the EU—senior leadership and VP Engineering experience without a full-time hire.
Fundraising or board pressure to professionalize engineering, a major product bet, re-org after growth, or a transformation project that cannot wait for a permanent CTO. We step in as a part-time CTO, fractional CTO, or interim VP Engineering partner.
Tech roadmaps aligned with business goals, architecture and code review, engineering hiring support, vendor decisions, and accountability for delivery. We have supported Berlin and German startups in logistics, mobility, fintech, and SaaS—as well as EU-wide special projects.
Engagements usually run three to nine months, starting with a focused workshop. English and German communication both work for us; legal and billing through Unrealists GmbH, Berlin.
