Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our fractional cto service.

What does a Fractional CTO actually do?

A Fractional CTO provides part-time, executive-level technology leadership. They set technology strategy, evaluate architecture decisions, mentor your IT team, communicate with stakeholders and investors, and ensure your technology investments drive business results — all without the cost of a full-time executive.

How is this different from IT consulting?

IT consulting is typically project-based — you get recommendations and a report. A Fractional CTO is an ongoing leadership role. They attend your leadership meetings, own the technology strategy, and are accountable for outcomes over time. Think advisor vs. team member.

How much time does a Fractional CTO dedicate?

Engagement levels vary based on your needs — typically 10-20 hours per week. Some clients need more during critical periods like product launches, migrations, or fundraising. We flex to match your situation.

Who benefits most from a Fractional CTO?

Growing businesses (typically 10-200 employees) that have outgrown ad-hoc IT decisions but aren't ready for a $200K+ full-time CTO hire. Also ideal for startups preparing for funding, companies undergoing digital transformation, or organizations with technical debt they need to address strategically.
