◆Intro

What is a fractional CTO and why hire one?

A fractional CTO is a senior technical leader who works part-time (typically 2-8 days per month) embedded in your company. They make architecture decisions, lead your technical team, own the technical roadmap, and represent you in investor conversations — all without the €150,000-€250,000/year cost of a full-time CTO plus equity. Ideal for pre-seed to Series A startups that need serious technical leadership but can't yet justify a full-time hire, SMBs undergoing digital transformation, and enterprises needing interim leadership during CTO transitions.

What's the difference between fractional CTO and technology consulting?+

A fractional CTO takes ownership — makes decisions, leads the team, is accountable. A consultant advises without owning execution. We offer both depending on what your company needs.

How much does a fractional CTO cost?+

Ranges from €3,000/month for 2 days dedicated to €10,000/month for 8 days. Compared to full-time CTO total cost (€150k-€250k+/year + equity + hiring cost + ramp-up time), fractional is a fraction of the investment with immediate access to senior expertise.

Do you work remotely or on-site?+

Remote-first with occasional travel for kickoffs, board meetings, key interviews, or critical moments. For European clients we travel to your office 1-2 days per month if the engagement warrants it.

How is the contract structured?+

Monthly renewable with 30-day notice. No long lock-ins. Includes days dedicated, communication channels and scope clarity. Fully transparent.

Can you do technical due diligence for investors?+

Yes. From €6,000. Includes code analysis, architecture review, team assessment and infrastructure evaluation, plus executive report adapted to investment committee.
