Who This Is For
Our fractional CTO services adapt to your stage, goals, and challenges.
The Non-Technical Founder
"I have deep domain expertise and a compelling problem to solve — but when engineers talk about microservices and infrastructure, I'm nodding without confidence. I need someone who translates technology into business outcomes and stops me from making expensive mistakes."
The Scaling CEO
"We grew from 10 to 80 people in two years. Our tech team is making decisions I can't evaluate. We're not big enough for a full-time CTO, but we're too big to wing it. I need a senior technical voice in the room."
The Company in Transition
"Our CTO left. Or we're preparing for acquisition. Or we're migrating off a platform that's killing us. I need experienced leadership to navigate this transition — not another consultant who'll hand me a slide deck."
Who This Is NOT For
You need someone to manage IT helpdesk tickets
You want a developer to build your product (we can refer you)
You need a strategy document delivered, then want to figure out execution alone
You're a 500+ person company that needs a full-time executive (we can help you hire one)
Signs You Need a Fractional CTO
If any of these sound familiar, it may be time to bring in senior technology leadership.
Your engineers are making architecture decisions you can't evaluate
Your investor is asking for a technical roadmap and you don't have one
You've had two senior developers leave in six months
You're about to sign your first enterprise customer who requires SOC 2
You've outgrown your technical co-founder's capacity
Your dev agency delivered something — and now nobody can maintain it

Frequently Asked Questions
A Fractional CTO is an experienced technology executive who provides strategic leadership on a part-time or contract basis. Unlike a full-time CTO, a fractional CTO delivers the same calibre of guidance at a fraction of the cost, making enterprise-grade technology leadership accessible to startups and SMBs.
Fractional CTO engagements typically range from $3,000 to $25,000 per month, depending on the engagement tier. Advisory (4-8 hrs/month) runs $3K-$7K, Embedded (1-2 days/week) runs $7K-$15K, and Interim (3+ days/week) runs $15K-$25K. This compares to $300K-$500K+ annually for a full-time CTO hire.
Startups should consider a Fractional CTO when they need strategic technology leadership but cannot justify or afford a full-time executive. Common triggers include preparing for fundraising, scaling the engineering team, evaluating build-vs-buy decisions, or needing architecture guidance for a major product initiative.
A consultant typically delivers a report or recommendation and moves on. A Fractional CTO embeds within your team, takes ownership of technology outcomes, mentors your developers, and stays accountable for execution over the long term.
Yes. Unlike traditional advisory-only fractional CTOs, Reyem Tech combines strategic leadership with hands-on implementation. We don't just architect solutions — we help build, test, and ship them alongside your team.
Most engagements begin within 5-10 business days of signing. We start with a technology audit in weeks 1-2, then transition to ongoing leadership from month 1.
A fractional CTO complements internal engineering leaders by providing outside perspective, board-level strategic communication, and cross-industry experience that strengthens your existing team.
Every engagement begins with a mutual NDA and IP assignment agreement. Confidentiality and intellectual property protection are non-negotiable foundations of our work.
Some clients do transition to full-time arrangements. We also help build the internal CTO role specification and support the hiring process for an eventual full-time technology executive.
Most of our clients are non-technical founders. That is exactly why this model works — we translate technology into business outcomes and provide the technical judgment you need without requiring you to become technical yourself.
