/ 01 How Dupont helps

Senior technical leadership for Arkansas teams.

Four ways Renzo Dupont works with founders and companies — pick the level of involvement your stage needs.

Fractional CTO

Senior technical ownership for Arkansas companies on a monthly engagement: architecture, engineering hiring, code review, and AI strategy without a six-figure full-time CTO.

Technical Partnership

For non-technical founders in Arkansas with a strong idea but no technical co-founder — Renzo architects, builds, and stands behind the product, and your company keeps all the IP.

Technical Interview Consulting

Design hiring loops that actually predict performance — rubrics, structured interviews, and interviewer calibration so Arkansas teams hire engineers who deliver.

Early-Stage Technical Investment

For the earliest Arkansas founders who need a hands-on technical co-founder: MVP architecture and build, cloud setup, and mentorship where the technical work is the investment.
