Common questions about fractional CTO services, technology advisory, and working with Code To Cloud.
Last updated:
A fractional CTO is a part-time technology executive who provides strategic leadership without the full-time cost. Instead of hiring a $300K+ CTO, you get the same expertise on a fractional basis — typically a few hours per week or month. Suited to startups, small businesses, and growing companies who need technology leadership but aren't ready for a full-time hire.
Advisory focuses on ongoing strategic partnership over time, rather than a one-time project or report. It means working alongside you as your technology advisor — helping you make decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and build technology that scales.
Most clients start with a technology review — a focused assessment of current stack, security posture, and opportunities. From there, engagements move to ongoing fractional CTO support, project-based work, or team training. Every engagement starts with a free strategy call.
Pricing depends on the scope of engagement and isn't published on this site — every business's situation is different enough that a number without context would be misleading. As a reference point, a full-time CTO costs $200K–$350K/year; fractional support is typically a fraction of that. Book a free strategy call for a specific quote.
Yes — AI readiness is a core focus area: understanding which AI tools make sense for a given business, how to adopt AI safely without vendor lock-in, and how to prepare teams and processes for it.
A forward deployed engineer works embedded inside your team to build and ship the actual system — cloud infrastructure, AI pipelines, security controls — rather than just handing over a recommendation. Code To Cloud has always worked hands-on for cloud, AI, and security engagements; forward deployed engineering is the name for that delivery model.
