FAQs
1. What is a fractional CTO?
A fractional CTO is an experienced technology leader who works with your business on a part-time or project basis, providing the same strategic and architectural oversight as a full-time CTO at a fraction of the cost. It is ideal for startups and growing businesses that need senior tech leadership without a full-time hire.
2. How much does a fractional CTO cost?
Fractional CTO engagements typically start from $4,000 to $8,000 per month depending on the scope, hours, and complexity of your needs. This is significantly more cost-effective than hiring a full-time CTO, which can cost $200,000 or more annually.
3. How long does it take to develop an AI solution?
In most cases we can begin an engagement within one to two weeks. We start with a discovery session to understand your business, team, and technology landscape, then move quickly into delivering value.
4. What size of business benefits most from a fractional CTO?
Fractional CTOs are most valuable for seed to Series B startups, scale-ups navigating rapid growth, and established businesses adopting new technology such as AI. Any company making significant technology decisions without a dedicated senior leader is a strong fit.
5. Will a fractional CTO work with our existing development team?
Yes. We embed directly into your team, joining your existing communication channels, sprint calls, and planning sessions. We act as a senior extension of your team, not an external consultant who delivers reports and disappears.
6. How is a fractional CTO different from a tech consultant?
A consultant typically provides recommendations and moves on. A fractional CTO takes ongoing ownership of your technology direction, stays accountable to outcomes, and remains embedded with your team for the duration of the engagement.
