๐Ÿง Who is this service for?

A fractional CTO is useful for companies with one of the following profiles:

  • Limited budget

    companies who cannot justify the budget for a full-time employee as CTO but still require tech leadership and guidance.

  • Rapid growth

    companies going through a phase of rapid growth and need help in scaling out their software or infrastructure.

  • Interim CTO

    companies who are in the process of recruiting a new full-time CTO and need an interim solution in between. Historically, the recruitment process for a CTO can take 4 - 6 months.

  • Lack of in-house expertise

    organizations with a dependency on a specific technology stack but lack the in-house expertise for it.

  • Accelerate innovation

    companies that want to stay ahead of the competition by implementing new and innovative technologies, but need guidance on defining this technology roadmap, or help in executing it.

  • Project-based work

    companies that have specific technology projects or initiatives that require a senior technology executive to oversee.
