Fractional CTO

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

How does a fractional CTO work?

The fractional CTO typically helps the company structure and manage its technology aspects. They may be responsible for technology strategy, managing the development team, choosing tools and technologies, and overseeing technical projects. This role is especially suited to early-stage startups that do not yet need a full-time CTO but require technical expertise to move forward.

Concrete example

Imagine you are launching a new mobile application. You need a solid technology plan but do not 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 to scale quickly. They might work a few days per month or step in for specific projects, such as launching your product.

Why hire a fractional CTO?

Hiring a fractional CTO is a flexible and cost-effective solution for startups. It allows you to benefit from advanced technology 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.
