What is a fractional CTO?
Also known as: Part-time CTO, Fractional Chief Technology Officer
A fractional CTO is a part-time Chief Technology Officer who owns technology strategy, architecture and engineering leadership for a company that does not yet need, or cannot yet justify, a full-time CTO.
Scale-ups, start-ups after a funding round and private-equity portfolio companies are typical clients: the fractional CTO makes the architecture and hiring decisions that determine how far the platform can scale, and prepares the technology story for investors.
