Thanks for sharing. Any thoughts on hiring a fractional CTO? I’m a barely-technical founder, working w/ no code/low code tools like Airtable, Copilot for my product and services but want to outsource work and move towards more technical product but have been striking out trying to hire more technical people than I am directly and don’t want a cofounder. Where to find a fractional CTO, how to go about it, etc. thanks

I just learned about fractional jobs. I've bounced around my company for a while and also led some independent projects. I'd like to break into this space. I'd be curious to know what was causing your CTOs to strike out to know what pitfalls I could avoid (Also open to discuss your role specifically if you're interested in someone trying to get their feet wet in fractional work, but am comfortable in the engineering space)

Hey Dave, I'm the founder of https://fractionaljobs.io , if it's helpful you can book a time with me through the website and I can talk you through the pros / cons of hiring a Fractional CTO (and then help you hire one if you want our help).

You can click the "Hire Fractional" button on the website to book a time with me.

FWIW you're describing a great use case for a fCTO.

I’m curious why you’ve been striking out? What seems to be the issue with the people you’re trying to hire. I’m looking to get into being a fractional CTO and would love to talk with you if you’re interested. You can reach me at the email in my profile.

Why do you think you need a CTO? Contract a full-stack dev.
