What Is a Fractional CTO?

A fractional CTO is a senior technical leader who works with your company part-time — typically 10 to 25 hours per week — and delivers the same strategic guidance you'd get from a full-time CTO, without the full-time price tag. They own architecture decisions, run engineering hiring, evaluate vendors, and tell your technology story to investors and board members.

專案失敗的原因

Non-technical founders making architecture decisions by Googling Technical debt piles up quietly until your Series A runway disappears into rewrites.
Outsourced dev team with no one reviewing their work You're paying for code that nobody on your side can evaluate or maintain.
Board asks about infrastructure scalability and you go blank Investors notice. Follow-on funding gets harder to close.
First engineering hire has nobody senior to report to Wrong hires, wrong stack, cultural drift from day one.
Vendor contracts signed without anyone doing technical due diligence Now you're locked into expensive platforms that don't fit what you actually need.
Full-time CTOs run $250K–$400K+ once you factor in equity and benefits Before you've hit product-market fit, that overhead can sink you.

合規

Architecture Review & Roadmap

Full audit of your current stack, infrastructure, and codebase. You get a documented architecture and a migration path if one's needed.

90-Day Technical Strategy

A board-ready document covering priorities, milestones, and resource allocation — built around your fundraising timeline and product goals.

Engineering Hiring & Team Building

We write job specs, screen candidates, run technical interviews, and structure your engineering org. No recruiting agency required.

Vendor & Tool Evaluation

Honest assessment of SaaS tools, cloud providers, and third-party APIs. We negotiate contracts and keep you out of lock-in situations.

Investor & Board Communication

We translate technical complexity into language investors actually understand. That means joining board meetings and prepping tech diligence materials before fundraising kicks off.

Security & Compliance Posture

We put baseline security practices in place, get you on the path to SOC 2 readiness, and establish data handling policies — before investors or enterprise customers come asking.

我們構建的內容

Weekly Architecture Office Hours

Your team gets dedicated time each week to get real-time technical decisions from someone who's done this before.

Async Decision Documentation

Every architecture call gets logged as an ADR. When you hire a full-time CTO, they inherit context instead of confusion.

Code Review Oversight

We review pull requests and hold your dev team or agency to real quality standards.

Fundraise Tech Diligence Prep

Investor-facing technical documentation ready before due diligence starts — not scrambled together at the last minute.

Build vs. Buy Analysis

Honest, data-driven takes on when to build in-house versus buying something off the shelf.

Transition Planning

When you're ready for a full-time CTO, we write the job spec, source candidates, and make sure the handoff is clean.

常見問題

兼職 CTO 與技術顧問有什麼不同?

顧問只在每月電話會議中給你意見。兼職 CTO 真正融入你的團隊——參加每日站會、審查程式碼、做架構決策、主導招聘。這裡有真實的營運責任,不只是建議。可以把它想成是按兼職時間表工作的 CTO。

如果我已有開發代理商,還需要兼職 CTO 嗎?

更需要。代理商只會根據你的要求來開發。沒有資深技術人員在你這邊把關,你無法評估他們的架構選擇、程式碼品質,或他們是否在不必要的複雜性上浪費工時。兼職 CTO 可以充當你的技術倡導者,確保你確實得到付費購買的服務。

兼職 CTO 每週實際工作多少小時?

通常是每週 10 到 25 小時,取決於你的發展階段和需求。早期新創通常以 10–15 小時開始,用於策略和招聘工作。即將融資或正在擴展工程團隊的公司往往需要 20–25 小時來處理更繁重的營運工作。

90 天計劃包括什麼內容?

該計劃涵蓋你現有的架構評估、推薦的技術棧變更、招聘路線圖與時間表、安全性與合規狀況、廠商整合機會,以及基於里程碑的交付物。格式適合董事會閱讀,投資者可以將你的技術策略與商業計劃並列查看。

兼職 CTO 會寫程式碼嗎?

我們的重點是技術領導力,而不是編寫程式碼。我們審查你的工程師產出、設定架構標準,並讓工作順利進行。如果你需要實際的開發工作,我們可以單獨分析——或幫助你透過我們的人脈網絡聘請合適的開發人員。

你如何處理過渡到全職 CTO 的過程?

我們撰寫職位描述、運用人脈網絡尋找候選人、主導技術面試,並進行有組織的交接。沿途每項架構決策都被記錄為 ADR。你新任的 CTO 會接手一個乾淨的程式碼庫、清晰的文件,以及真正有效運作的工程文化——而不是一堆他們必須花時間理清的爛攤子。
