Fractional CTO services
Your company has outgrown its first tech lead, or has never had a senior technology executive. A fractional CTO gives you an experienced Chief Technology Officer part time, to make the architecture, platform and hiring decisions that determine how far you can scale.
Clateway fractional CTOs work with founders, CEOs and investors on technology strategy, engineering organisation, security and the technology story for your board and investors.
What a fractional CTO takes on
- Architecture and platform choices that scale
- Engineering organisation, hiring and delivery rhythm
- Security baseline and secure software development
- Build versus buy decisions and vendor selection
- Investor and board-ready technology story, including due diligence preparation
Who we work with
Scale-ups after a funding round, growth companies building their first platform, private-equity portfolio companies and SMEs that depend on software but do not need a full-time CTO yet.
Frequently asked questions
What does a fractional CTO do?
A fractional CTO is a part-time Chief Technology Officer who owns technology strategy, architecture, engineering leadership and the technology roadmap, typically one to three days a week.
When should a start-up or scale-up hire a fractional CTO?
When technical decisions start to limit growth, when investors ask for a credible technology plan, or when the team has outgrown its first tech lead but a full-time CTO is not yet justified.
Can a fractional CTO prepare us for technical due diligence?
Yes. Clateway fractional CTOs prepare the architecture overview, security posture, technical debt assessment and roadmap that investors and acquirers look for.
