Common Questions
What's the difference between a fractional CTO and a consultant?
A fractional CTO is embedded in your team and takes ownership of technical outcomes. Unlike consultants who provide advice and leave, we're accountable for execution and stay engaged as your technical leader.
How many hours per week do you typically work?
Engagements typically range from 8-20 hours per week, depending on your stage and needs. We can flex up during critical periods like fundraising or major launches.
When should a startup hire a fractional CTO?
Ideal timing is when you need technical leadership for strategic decisions but aren't ready for a £150-200k+ full-time hire. This is typically pre-seed through Series A stage.
Can you help us hire a full-time CTO eventually?
Yes. Part of our role is building the foundation for your permanent leadership. We help define the role, source candidates, and ensure a smooth transition when you're ready.
