Interim & Fractional CTO
CTO Experience. Without CTO Salary.
Your CTO left, a project needs leadership, or you're growing too fast for your tech team. We step in – from 1 day per week.
What you actually get
Results, not 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.
CTO resigned? Critical project without tech leadership? Growing fast but full-time CTO too early? We don't just step in – we build structures, mentor your team and leave lasting improvements. From 1 day per week as Fractional CTO or full-time as Interim.
How it works
From first idea to finished result
Initial Conversation
We get to know your situation: What's the challenge? What role do you need? How urgent is it?
Quick Onboarding
Within 1-2 weeks: Meeting the team, understanding the technology, identifying first quick wins.
Operational Phase
We take on the agreed role: Strategic leadership, technical decisions, team mentoring, stakeholder management.
Continuous Transfer
We continuously document, coach potential successors, and build internal competencies.
Clean Handover
When a successor is there or the project ends: Structured handover with documentation and availability for questions.
Common Questions
Short 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.
