Fractional CTO Services for Startups

Your dev shop isn't working. Your investors want a technical update. You need someone who can audit the code, fix the team, and give you a straight answer - without the $400K salary. Our fractional CTOs start in days, not months, at $5K-$15K/month.

Fractional CTO

SERVICE OVERVIEW

The power of a CTO at a fraction of the cost

The Situation

Today’s business world is driven by technology. Whether it’s launching a software product, building a website, or managing digital infrastructure, organizations rely on technical leadership to stay competitive & keep operations running smoothly. With access to a CTO, companies can make better calls on new technology while reducing risks & increasing the adaptability of the organization.

The Problems

Unfortunately, the cost of a CTO is significant and access to this type of experienced technical talent can be very competitive. Because a CTO is often necessary for early-stage software startups, founders often have to choose between giving up serious equity or drastically increasing operating costs.

4.8/5.0

Usually, in my experience, contractors are either highly talented but lacking in communication skills or vice versa. Guys from JetThoughts got the best of both worlds. They implemented easy ways to manage the flow of a distributed team and support high-quality code and development overall. Their team was also detailed and precise, helping us to find problems before they appear. We knew exactly what was happening and where we were going the whole time.

Great - we communicate on Slack, have sprint calls and work like a normal team. What I found most impressive is the high quality of work and work ethic.

I value most the selection of the specialists, so that we didn't waste time trying to figure out the proper candidate among the list of names. Each person suggested was really the person professionally suitable for us.
