Fractional CTO Services
Fractional CTO services from a tech partner who still builds
A fractional CTO is a tech partner who works part time. You get the hours you need. Not a full-time hire.
A full-time CTO costs $300,000 to $500,000 a year. Most companies under $20 million don't need one full time. They need about ten hours a week. Someone to make the big calls. Someone to check a scary quote. Someone to pick the right tools. A fractional CTO gives you that, for a small part of the cost.
Here's where I'm different. Most fractional CTOs hand you a slide deck and a plan, then leave before anything gets built. I call them PowerPoint CTOs. When I tell you what to build, I build it myself. I've shipped real software for clients for 14 years: websites, automations, AI tools, all of it.
So you get one person who knows your whole tech setup. A plan on Monday. Working code by Friday.
What you get with a fractional CTO
A plan for your tech
A plain plan that ties every tech dollar to money coming in. What to build. What to buy. What to stop.
The right tools and deals
I pick your tools and check your deals. You stop overpaying agencies and tech companies.
I build it myself
When the plan calls for a new website, a bot, or an AI tool, I build it. Same person, one bill.
Watching your team's work
I check the code. I help you hire. I tell you the truth about work from your developers or agencies.
AI that actually ships
I set up AI for your sales, marketing, and daily work. You get working software, not a slide deck about AI.
Proof, not promises
My client sites have brought one American manufacturer $23 million in sales leads. For another, my site helped close a $10 million deal with a Fortune 100 company. One tech platform I rebuilt now serves more than 398,000 people, with 18,000 on it at once.
Frequently asked questions
What does a fractional CTO cost? +
Most fractional CTOs charge $3,000 to $15,000 a month. A full-time CTO costs $300,000 to $500,000 a year in total pay. My main plan is one flat monthly fee for a full year. It covers the plan and the building. We start with the Tech Audit, and its full price comes off your first month.
How many hours per week do I get? +
Most clients get 5 to 10 hours a week of my time. Bigger projects get more. We plan around the result you need, not a clock. And since I build too, those hours go further.
How is a fractional CTO different from a consultant? +
A consultant hands you a report, then leaves. A fractional CTO stays. I own the plan, the tools, the builds, and the results. You're paying for someone who sticks around, not a stack of paper.
Do you work with non-technical founders? +
Most of my clients are. My job is to be the tech brain you trust. I explain everything in plain words, and I keep you from expensive mistakes.
