Digital Services in New York City

New York City is the largest city in the United States and a global center for finance, media, law, and technology. The city's tech sector has grown explosively, with over 350,000 tech workers and a venture capital scene that rivals the Bay Area in deal volume. NYC companies span Wall Street fintech to Madison Avenue ad-tech to the Brooklyn startup scene, creating a market where senior technical leadership is in high demand but prohibitively expensive as a full-time hire for most growing companies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a fractional CTO cost in New York City?

Fractional CTO engagements are scoped individually based on hours and complexity. Compared to the cost of a full-time CTO in the NYC market — one of the most expensive in the world — you get the same caliber of senior technical leadership at a fraction of the cost.

What types of NYC companies benefit from a fractional CTO?

Funded startups from pre-seed through Series B, fintech companies building trading or payment platforms, law firms modernizing their technology, media companies building digital products, and professional services firms investing in custom software. The common thread is companies that need senior technical direction but are not ready for a full-time CTO.
