Frequently asked questions

  • What are benefits of an external CTO?

    Hiring a qualified CTO who’s fluent in both your company’s technology and its business needs is an expensive, long-term undertaking. Our CTO as a Service offering reduces operational risks and maintains engineering continuity on your projects while minimizing costs and the stress of onboarding.

  • How will an external CTO work with my in-house teams?

    However you need them to! You can tap an interim CTO to jump in on a part-time basis to collaborate with your in-house teams or provide executive expertise for development, planning, and engineering management. Our CTO services are designed to be seamless and flexible — and they can scale up or down to meet your needs.

  • When should a startup use CTO Services?

    External CTOs can help startups with product auditing, technology consulting, differentiating your technology from competitors, or any challenges your business faces related to technical strategy and alignment — all with less financial commitment than hiring in-house.

  • What is the difference between the fractional CTO and Part-time CTO?

    Both fractional and part-time CTOs offer technology leadership without a full-time commitment. The main difference between them comes down to the scope of their responsibilities: A part-time CTO covers the full scope of your technology leadership needs for a negotiated number of hours, typically on a long-term basis, while a fractional CTO will be responsible for a limited, more specific number of tasks.
