CTO / Technology Advisory
Fractional CTO-level guidance on technical strategy, hiring, and architecture decisions — without a full-time executive salary.
Not every company needs a full-time CTO — but every growing company needs access to senior technical judgment before making expensive decisions. This advisory relationship provides exactly that.
Ideal for
- Startups and SMEs without an in-house technical leader
- Founders making critical technology hires or vendor decisions
- Businesses needing an independent technical second opinion
What you'll get
- Ongoing or project-based technical advisory
- Technology hiring support (job specs, interview evaluation)
- Vendor and architecture decision reviews
- Technical risk assessment for board or investor reporting

Frequently asked questions
How is fractional CTO advisory different from hiring a full-time CTO?
You get senior technical judgment for critical decisions without the cost, hiring risk, or long ramp-up time of a full-time executive hire — ideal until you're ready to hire in-house.
Can you help us hire our first technical team?
Yes — this includes support with job specifications, technical interview design, and evaluating candidates so you make confident hiring decisions.
Is this a one-time consultation or ongoing?
Both models are available — a one-time technical review, or an ongoing retainer for continuous advisory as your technology needs evolve.
