Case Study: a fintech cryptocurrency company raises funding and launches its platform with Stride's Interim CTO services

a fintech cryptocurrency company raises a multi-million dollar round with Stride

A fintech cryptocurrency startup, with no in-house technical team or product, needed to build its core platform to support a high-stakes Initial Coin Offering (ICO). The challenge was to quickly define, build, and launch a secure and credible platform to enable fundraising. They engaged Stride for its Interim CTO services and as a technology partner to provide both strategic vision and hands-on execution.

Stride stepped in as Interim CTO, immediately defining the product vision and establishing a full engineering stack using Java and AWS. They built the flagship compute platform and supported business development with technical materials. The solution enabled a successful multi-million dollar fundraising round in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Stride also established the technical foundation, implemented high-performing engineering practices, and onboarded the startup's first internal engineer to ensure long-term sustainability.
