What a fractional CTO does
A fractional CTO provides part-time, senior technology leadership — vendor selection, architecture decisions, team structure, technical hiring, and strategic technology direction — without the cost and commitment of a full-time C-suite hire.
When it makes sense
- You are a non-technical founder building a technical product
- You have engineers but no one setting technical direction
- You are choosing between tech stacks, vendors, or architecture approaches
- You are scaling from prototype to production
- You need a credible technical voice for investors or enterprise customers
When it does not make sense
- You need someone in the building every day managing engineers
- You are in a stage where a full-time CTO is affordable and the leverage is real
- You want someone to execute, not advise
How B. works in this capacity
B. PM Consulting works with founders on tech strategy, stack decisions, product architecture, and AI readiness — not as a day-to-day engineering manager, but as a senior thinking partner on the decisions that compound.
