Fractional CTO

A fractional CTO (Part-time Chief Technology Officer) is a technology expert who works for a company on a flexible basis, often part-time or for specific missions. Unlike a full-time CTO, the fractional CTO offers their services only when needed, allowing startups to access high-level technological expertise without having to hire a full-time CTO.

How does a fractional CTO work?

The fractional CTO typically helps the company structure and manage its technological aspects. They can be responsible for technology strategy, development team management, selection of tools and technologies, and supervision of technical projects. This role is particularly suited for early-stage startups that don't yet need a full-time CTO but require technical expertise to move forward.

Concrete example

Imagine you're launching a new mobile application. You need a solid technology plan but don't yet have the resources to hire a full-time CTO. A fractional CTO could help you choose the best technologies, structure your technical team, and advise you on best practices for rapid growth. They could work a few days per month or intervene for specific missions, such as your product launch.

Why hire a fractional CTO?

Hiring a fractional CTO is a flexible and cost-effective solution for startups. It provides access to advanced technological expertise without the costs of a permanent CTO. It's also a good option for companies looking to grow quickly while carefully managing their resources.
