Common questions about this service
What is a fractional CTO and when do I need one?
A fractional CTO is a senior technology executive who works with your company part-time on a retainer — typically 10–30 hours per month. You need one when (a) your team has more than 3 engineers but no senior technical leader, (b) you are about to commit six figures to a build or vendor, (c) investors want to see CTO-level credibility on the cap table, or (d) you keep making technology decisions on your own that you later regret.
How is this different from hiring a consulting agency?
Consulting agencies sell you their billable hours. We sell you outcomes and senior judgment. A fractional CTO engagement is structured around your roadmap, your hiring, your architecture — not a project scope statement. We are also independent of any specific vendor or stack, so our advice does not depend on which proposal makes us the most money.
Will you write code?
Sometimes — usually for architecture spikes, hiring rubric exercises, or unblocking a stuck team. But this is not a build-the-product engagement. If you need an entire product built, see the Web Development or Mobile Apps services instead.
What does the bilingual support actually mean?
We can run founder calls, vendor negotiations, and team standups in English or Spanish. For founders running Spanish-speaking teams or Latin-American operations, this removes the translation layer that usually slows down strategic technology decisions.
