A Fractional CTO is an experienced technology leader who works with your company on a full-time basis, but on a part-time basis. You receive strategic guidance that is typically only available to companies with a CTO budget of $200K+ per year, for a fraction of that cost.
This is not consulting or a one-time audit. A Fractional CTO integrates into your team, makes decisions, takes responsibility for results, and builds a system that works without them.
Many companies start with a workshop. During the process, systemic issues within the organization become apparent — and then the transition to the Fractional CTO model happens naturally, with trust already established and a shared understanding of the context.
Engineering Strategy for Business Leaders
Scaling Engineering: From 10 to 100 Engineers
Many companies find themselves in a situation where technology is critical to the business, but hiring a full-time CTO is premature, too expensive, or simply impossible to find the right person. As a result, technology decisions are made “from the bottom up” without a strategy, architecture becomes complex, teams slow down, and the business loses its competitive advantage.
A Fractional CTO bridges this gap: providing the company with strategic technology leadership right now, while the business grows to a level where a full-time CTO becomes justified.
Audit of the current state and creation of a strategic plan.
Result: You have a complete picture and an action plan. You know exactly what to do, in what order, and why.
Audit plus implementation of key changes.
Result: The team works differently. Delivery speed is measurable and increasing. Processes do not depend on a single person.
A full cycle of organizational transformation.
Result: The organization is ready to scale. It has leaders, processes, and a culture that can sustain growth.
Full transformation with a planned handover to an in-house CTO.
Result: The company is fully self-sufficient. You have an in-house technology leader, a working system, and a documented strategy—not a reliance on an external consultant.
Often, companies reach a point where development slows down and hiring a full-time leader is too expensive. Fractional CTO is an experienced part-time expert who does not just give advice, but integrates into the team, makes architectural decisions, builds development processes and is responsible for the result.
The service is ideal for startups after a round of investment, non-technical founders, and companies with 10-70 engineers who have hit a speed ceiling. It is also indispensable if you are preparing to scale processes or pass technical due diligence before new funding.
A specialist works with your team 2-3 days a week (online, offline or hybrid), participates in planning and is available for urgent questions. Available packages for 3, 6, 9 or 12 months: from a quick audit and "quick wins" to a full transformation with preparation and handover to a full-time CTO.
The best start is a joint workshop, during which we analyze your request in detail, synchronize goals and form a clear action plan. To get strategic technology leadership at a fraction of its full cost, just click the "Apply" button on the page and we'll get back to you.
