Fractional CTO

The engagement

A monthly retainer where a senior tech leader joins as your fractional CTO — 2 days per week plus executive presence in board and leadership meetings. Owns AI + tech strategy + roadmap end-to-end, coordinates external vendors (cloud, security, legal), represents the tech function at C-suite. Effectively the CTO/CAIO without the full-time hire.

What you actually get

• 2 days/week senior engineer + executive presence

• Owns AI + tech strategy + roadmap end-to-end

• Sits in board / leadership meetings as the tech voice

• Coordinates external vendors (cloud, security, legal)

• Direct line to founder/CEO for strategic technical decisions

Who buys this

• Series A/B companies scaling tech but not ready for a full-time CTO

• Mid-market firms where tech has become a board-level topic

• Founders needing executive-level technical ownership without a co-founder
