Interim & Fractional CTO
Technical Leadership on Demand
CTO-level expertise without CTO-level costs. Whether vacancy, project peak, or missing tech leadership - we bring the experience you need right now.
What You Get
Concrete results, not empty promises
Ready Immediately
No months-long search for the perfect CTO. We start within 1-2 weeks and are immediately productive.
Flexibly Scalable
1 day per week as Fractional CTO or full-time as Interim - we adapt to your needs, not the other way around.
Knowledge Transfer Included
We mentor your team, document decisions, and hand over cleanly. No knowledge is lost.
Business + Tech + People
We understand not just code, but also business models and team dynamics. This combination makes the difference.
Your CTO has resigned. A critical project needs experienced leadership. Or you're growing fast, but a full-time CTO is still too early. We know these situations. As Interim or Fractional CTO, we bring the combination of business administration, psychology, and technical know-how. We don't just step in - we build structures, mentor your team, and leave lasting improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most important questions
An Interim CTO works full-time (4-5 days/week) for a limited period - typically to bridge a vacancy or manage a crisis. A Fractional CTO works part-time (1-3 days/week) and can be engaged indefinitely - ideal for companies that need CTO expertise but can't justify a full-time CTO.
Usually within 1-2 weeks. In urgent situations, we can often be available even faster. Onboarding then takes another 1-2 weeks until we're fully productive.
Fractional CTO (1-2 days/week): from approx. 4,000-8,000 EUR/month. Interim CTO (full-time): from approx. 15,000-20,000 EUR/month. Compared to permanent employment with recruiting costs, onboarding, and termination risks, this is often the more economical solution.
Yes, an Interim CTO takes over complete operational leadership of the tech team. With a Fractional CTO, the focus is more on strategic leadership and mentoring - daily operational leadership should then be handled by an internal tech lead, whom we can coach.
We hand over in a structured way: Documentation of all decisions and systems, personal onboarding of the successor, and if desired a transition phase with both. We're also available for questions after the handover.
We have experience in SaaS/software, e-commerce, FinTech, and traditional mid-size companies. Often more important than industry knowledge is understanding the phase a company is in - whether startup, growth, or transformation.
