Common Questions

How many hours per week do you typically work?

It depends on your needs. Most clients start with 8-16 hours per week. We can scale up during critical phases (fundraising, launches) or scale down once systems are stable.

Do you work with early-stage startups or only established companies?

Both. I work with pre-seed startups building their first product and growth-stage companies modernizing their tech stack. The common thread is complex technical challenges that need senior guidance.

What's the minimum engagement period?

I recommend a 3-month initial engagement to see meaningful results. After that, we can switch to month-to-month based on your needs.

Can you help with hiring and building the engineering team?

Yes. Defining roles, creating job descriptions, technical interviews, and onboarding new hires are all part of the fractional CTO scope.
