Frequently Asked Questions
I don't have a tech co-founder, can you still work with me?
Yes. We act as your fractional CTO and engineering team, so you can move forward without hiring or building a technical team upfront.
How quickly can I get started?
We can typically start within a few days. After an initial call, we define your MVP plan and begin execution right away.
Can I afford this?
We structure engagement around your stage and goals. Most founders start with a focused MVP plan before expanding into a build and scale phase.
Do you work with no-code platforms?
We focus on custom development for products that need to scale. If no-code is the right fit for your situation, we will tell you that upfront.
What does a fractional CTO cost?
Fractional CTO engagements are structured as monthly retainers, typically ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 per month depending on scope, involvement, and whether a build team is included. The best starting point is a free discovery call where we can understand your goals and give you a clear recommendation.
