On-Demand Leadership for High-Growth Fintech & Crypto
C-suite expertise to scale your architecture and satisfy regulators
You've built a great product, and your roadmap is moving fast. But as you scale, the regulatory and technical hurdles only get higher. Rhizome gives you access to battle-tested leadership on a fractional basis. Strategic heavy-lifting exactly when you need it.
Fractional CTO
Building for 10x Growth: Our fractional CTOs bridge the gap between your engineering team and your board, ensuring architecture is scalable, secure, and audit-ready.
What we do: Design tech roadmaps, manage vendor ecosystems, screen candidates, and lead technical due diligence for funding rounds.
The Result: A SOC 2-ready infrastructure that supports rapid growth without the technical debt.
Crypto-Native Strategy
Unmatched Digital Asset Pedigree: We didn't just join the trend; we've been active in the Bitcoin ecosystem since 2011. We've worked in and for the world's highest-profile crypto companies.
What we do: Secure custodial architecture, regulatory pathfinding for Web3, tokenomics stress-testing, and crypto-specific AML/KYC workflows.
The Result: The confidence of "OG" experience combined with institutional-grade compliance and technical rigor.
Fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO)
Governance for the Age of AI: As global standards for "Black Box" algorithms tighten, we help you deploy AI that is both high-performing and audit-proof.
What we do: Establish AI risk frameworks, implement bias monitoring, and create transparent governance charters that satisfy partners and investors.
The Result: Ethical, defensible AI systems that build user trust and future-proof your tech against shifting global regulations.
Fractional CCO
Named Leadership & Strategic Regulatory Stewardship: We provide the executive weight needed to stay in the "good graces" of global regulators and sponsor banks.
What we do: Act as your named Compliance Officer, design board-approved policies, and manage complex regulatory inquiries.
The Result: Immediate credibility with partners and a "bank-ready" compliance program from day one.
AML Technology Audit
Precision Tuning & Model Validation: We provide the quantitative rigor to ensure your AML tools are detecting real risk, not just creating alert fatigue.
What we do: Threshold tuning, sensitivity analysis, and Independent Model Validations mandated by financial authorities.
The Result: Reduction in false positives and a defensible, data-driven compliance posture.
