Fractional CTO · 262labs.com
262 Labs is a fractional CTO consultancy that helps early-stage and growth-stage startups build and scale their technical foundations. Led by an experienced technical founder, the firm supports companies looking for high-level product, architecture, and technical leadership without hiring a full-time CTO.
“Prospect AI handled everything end-to-end. I just showed up to the meetings; the pipeline built itself. In 30 days, we generated over $120k in pipeline. The system is hands-off and incredibly efficient.”
As a solo operator providing fractional CTO services, the founder of 262 Labs needed a way to consistently attract high-value clients without spending hours each week managing outreach. Manual outbound was time-consuming, inconsistent, and distracting from client delivery work. The goal was to generate a healthy, reliable pipeline without adding operational overhead.
262 Labs partnered with Prospect AI to implement a hands-off outbound engine designed specifically for high-ticket technical advisory services. Prospect AI set up and warmed new email infrastructure, configured autonomous AI-driven outbound campaigns tailored to attract founders and startup operators seeking fractional CTO support, and handled all strategy, messaging, and execution.

- 2Autonomous Campaigns: Configured AI-driven outbound campaigns targeting founders seeking fractional CTO support
- 3Full Execution: Handled strategy, messaging, and execution; no tool usage required from 262 Labs
Within the first month, 262 Labs generated a strong, qualified pipeline valued at $120,000. The AI-powered outbound engine provided fast, measurable ROI and created a predictable foundation for ongoing client acquisition, and the founder never had to run the system or manage any tools.
