Technical Leadership
Without the Full-Time Cost
Your startup has a founder, AI tools, and freelancers — but no CTO. You need someone to make architecture decisions, review code, manage technical risk, and guide your engineering strategy. Our Fractional CTO service gives you experienced technical leadership on a monthly retainer.
Also explore our AI engineering team, AI code audit, and software takeover services.

Is a Fractional CTO Right for You?

You are building with AI tools but have no one to review architecture or make technical decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
A Fractional CTO is an experienced technical leader who works with your company on a monthly retainer. You get the strategic guidance, architecture decisions, and team leadership of a full-time CTO — without the salary, equity, and overhead. It is part-time CTO access, dedicated to your business.

Our three tiers offer 8, 20, or 40 hours per month. The Advisory tier is ideal for early-stage startups needing periodic guidance. The Active tier suits growing teams needing regular involvement. The Leadership tier provides full-time-equivalent coverage for startups that need a CTO-level presence.
