FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a fractional CTO?+
A senior technology leader who works with you part-time — setting technical direction, guiding your team and making key decisions — for a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
Do you do technical due diligence for investors?+
Yes. We assess a target company's codebase, architecture, team and risks, and deliver a clear report to support investment or acquisition decisions.
Are you tied to any vendors?+
No. Our advice is independent and vendor-neutral — we recommend what's right for you, not what earns us a commission.
Can you review a project another team built?+
Yes. Independent architecture and code reviews are a common request — we give you an honest, actionable assessment.
