Consult Fractional CTO What is a Fractional CTO?
A Fractional CTO is an executive technology leader who works with your company on a part-time basis, providing the same strategic direction as a full-time CTO but adapted to your stage and budget. Unlike a consultant who delivers a report and leaves, a Fractional CTO integrates into your team: participates in key decisions, oversees vendors, defines the technical architecture, and builds your engineering culture. For startups, they fill the technical co-founder gap — from validating product technical feasibility to preparing investor-ready technology strategy. For growing companies, they provide the oversight that rapidly scaling teams need: vendor evaluation, IT governance, infrastructure cost optimization, and mentorship for senior developers stepping into leadership roles. Our service stands apart by combining 25+ years of enterprise experience with current expertise in AI, cloud, and modern architectures.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Fractional CTO takes on the responsibilities of a chief technology officer — technical strategy, systems architecture, team and vendor oversight, technology selection, and IT governance — but on a part-time basis, dedicating an agreed number of weekly or monthly hours to your company.
A typical consultant delivers a report with recommendations and ends their engagement. A Fractional CTO integrates into your team on an ongoing basis: attends meetings, makes decisions alongside founders, oversees execution, and takes responsibility for long-term technical outcomes.
The commitment adapts to your needs. The most common arrangements range from 8 hours per week for early-stage startups to 20 hours per week for rapidly growing companies. The engagement adjusts based on business stage and technical complexity.
It is ideal when your company needs technical leadership but cannot justify a full-time CTO: pre-seed or seed startups without a technical co-founder, companies scaling that need vendor oversight, or businesses facing critical technology decisions such as migrations, architecture changes, or fundraising preparation.
Absolutely. For startups, a Fractional CTO fills the missing technical co-founder role: validates product technical feasibility, defines the tech stack, oversees MVP development, prepares technical documentation for investors, and establishes the engineering foundations for scaling.
In the first 30 days: complete diagnostic and action plan. By 60 days: defined technology roadmap, quick wins implemented, and oversight processes established. By 90 days: measurable improvements in delivery speed, technical quality, and alignment between technology and business objectives.
