CTO on demand —
when you need it,
no fixed cost.

A Fractional CTO is a senior CTO who works part-time or on an ongoing basis for one or more companies, rather than full-time for a single one. They bring the same technical and leadership expertise as an in-house CTO — architectural decisions, team management, technical roadmap — but with a commitment sized to what's actually needed, without the fixed cost of a full-time hire.

Typically when the volume of technical decisions doesn't yet justify a full-time in-house role, or when you need a senior perspective for a defined period — validating an architecture, leading a technical due diligence, structuring the first engineering team. Many early-stage startups and scale-ups take this route until they reach a scale where internalising the role makes sense.

It depends on the scope and level of engagement — a single advisory call has a different cost than an ongoing monthly retainer. We discuss it on the first call, which is free and comes with no commitment.

It starts with a 1–2 hour advisory call to understand the context. If it makes sense to continue, we move to a monthly retainer — typically 4–12 hours a month, agreed upfront based on what’s needed.

No. You always start with a single session to test the fit. There's no obligation to continue — if the scope is done or it's no longer a fit, we stop with no friction.

The work is mostly remote, with availability for in-person meetings across Northern Italy when useful. Geographic distance is rarely an issue for this kind of engagement.
