Frequently Asked Questions
Why would a San Francisco startup need a fractional CTO?
Even in SF, many startups between pre-seed and Series A cannot justify a full-time CTO at Bay Area compensation levels. A fractional CTO provides the same strategic leadership — architecture decisions, team hiring, investor-facing technical strategy — at a fraction of the cost.
How is your fractional CTO service different from hiring a local SF consultant?
We operate as embedded technical leadership, not one-off advisors. We attend your standups, review PRs, interview engineering candidates, and present to your board. The difference is continuity and accountability — we are on your team, not just on your calendar.
Do you help SF startups prepare for technical due diligence?
Yes. Technical due diligence preparation is one of our most requested services in San Francisco. We help you document your architecture, address technical debt, demonstrate scalability, and prepare your engineering team for investor scrutiny.
