Operating relationships, not retainers. Led by Rakia personally. A limited number of engagements each quarter.
“Every client I take gets me — not a team I assembled last week. That is the model. That is the standard.”
Copper & Vine’s fractional engagements are not retainers. They are operating relationships — structured, time-bounded, and led by Rakia personally.
She takes a limited number of engagements each quarter. Work begins with a scoped conversation, not a proposal.
A focused 30-day engagement for founders who need to convert technical ambiguity into a funder-ready position. Covers: tech stack audit, architecture decisions, roadmap structure, and documentation the team can execute against.
Developer-ready MVP specification. Investment-grade technical documentation.
A structured 90-day fractional CTO/CIO engagement. For organizations navigating a significant build, raise, or technology leadership transition.
Governance documentation. Architecture decisions made and recorded. Team capability advanced. Rakia exits as planned — you hold the full operating record.
A private room for founders and senior operators who need a standing thought partner on high-stakes technology decisions. Limited membership. Direct access. Monthly structured session plus async advisory.
You make better decisions faster, with someone who has made similar ones at scale.
Rakia does not take exploratory retainers, unpaid advisory roles, or engagements where the decision-maker is not in the room.
If you are still deciding whether you need a fractional CTO, the answer is usually yes — but this is not where that conversation starts. Start with the Operator Packet at coppervine.io.
The fields below are the start of the conversation. Three lines is plenty.
