Ross Boardman, Fractional CTO
You need tech guidance but aren't ready for a full-time CTO?
What Is A Fractional CTO?
Is your tech team stopping you from reaching your goals?
Do you feel at a disadvantage because of your limited tech knowledge, potentially leading to costly mistakes?
Is your tech team investor-ready?
These are common challenges, especially if you are a non-technical business founder or leader.
Do you ever wish you had CTO expertise without the full-time salary commitment?
A fractional CTO, or Chief Technology Officer, is a seasoned technology executive who offers their expertise and leadership to companies on a part-time or project-based basis.
