Questions about fractional CTO

What does a fractional CTO actually do?

A fractional CTO owns the technical strategy, challenges the engineering team, makes architectural decisions, mentors tech leads, and bridges the gap between the business and the technology. They work one or two days a week rather than full-time.

Is a fractional CTO right for non-technical founders?

Yes — especially so. A fractional CTO translates technical trade-offs into business decisions, ensures you’re not over-engineering, and helps you hire and manage technical people without needing to understand the code yourself.

What is included in the fractional CTO service?

One or two days per week of hands-on technical work and strategy, mentoring for founders and tech leads, and always paired with business mentoring so the technical and commercial direction stay aligned.
