Stop Wrestling with Tech. Start Growing Your Business.

Q: How much does Fractional CTO service cost compared to hiring full-time?

A full-time CTO costs $150,000-$300,000+ annually plus benefits and equity. Fractional CTO services start at $3,000-$6,000/month for 10-20 hours of strategic guidance—roughly 10-20% of the cost with immediate access to senior expertise and no long-term commitment.

Q: I'm not technical at all. Can you still help me?

That's exactly who I help! Non-technical founders need guidance the most. I translate technical concepts into plain business language, help you make confident tech decisions, and protect you from costly mistakes. You don't need to become technical—you just need someone technical on your side.

Fractional CTO services include strategic technology planning, architecture and platform decisions, developer team oversight and code reviews, vendor/freelancer management, emergency technical support, scalability planning, and serving as your technical advisor for business decisions.
