Fractional
CTOs.
Engineering leadership without the $300K+ price tag. Hire a battle-tested CTO to architect your stack, lead your team, and ship faster — on your terms.
What does a
Fractional CTO do?
A fractional CTO is your technical co-founder without the equity. They own the engineering vision — from choosing the right stack to shipping production-grade software — while you focus on the business.
Whether you're pre-product or scaling to millions of users, a fractional CTO brings the architectural wisdom and leadership discipline to get you there without the wrong turns.
Why hire fractional?
Cost-Effective
Pay $10-30K/month instead of $300K+ salary. No equity dilution, no benefits overhead.
Ship Faster
Senior engineering judgment from day one. No ramp-up, no wrong architectural decisions.
Scale on Demand
More hours during crunch, fewer during stable periods. Perfectly matched to your burn rate.
Battle-Tested
Access CTOs who have built and scaled systems to millions of users at successful startups.
