FAQ

Common questions

A fractional CTO is a senior technical leader who works with your company part-time — typically 10–20 hours per month. You get the strategic thinking and experience of a full-time CTO without the $250K+ annual salary and equity: architecture guidance, code reviews, team mentoring, vendor evaluation, and technology strategy.

Most clients start with 20 hours per month — enough for weekly strategy sessions, code reviews, and ad-hoc guidance. Some scale down to 10 for lighter engagement; companies going through major migrations may need 30–40 during critical periods.

Consultants deliver reports and leave. A fractional CTO becomes part of your team — we attend standups, review PRs, mentor developers, and provide ongoing technical leadership, invested in your long-term success, not just billable hours.

Companies with 5–50 engineers benefit most — large enough to need strategic technical leadership, but not yet ready for a full-time CTO. This typically means Series A–B startups and growing mid-market companies, especially those preparing for fundraising or major launches.

Deep expertise in modern web technologies — React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL, AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes — plus legacy systems and enterprise architectures. We evaluate technology objectively, recommending what's right for your context, not a fixed stack.

Yes — increasingly this is a standard part of architecture review, not an add-on. We evaluate API design for AI agent integrations, content structure for AI-search visibility, and infrastructure decisions that anticipate AI-driven traffic and usage patterns.

Yes. We help prepare architecture documentation, code quality assessments, and scalability narratives that hold up under investor technical due diligence — a common reason companies bring us on before a raise.
