Fractional CTO — frequently asked questions
What does a fractional CTO actually do?
Everything a full-time CTO does — architecture decisions, vendor evaluation, technical hiring, security oversight, infrastructure planning — but part-time and at a fraction of the cost. You get senior technical leadership without a $250K salary, equity, and benefits package.
How much time do I get?
The base retainer includes weekly strategy calls, async availability for decisions, and hands-on work as needed. Most clients use 15 to 25 hours per month. We scale up for specific projects and scale down during quiet periods.
