What is a Fractional-CTO?

A Fractional-CTO is a part-time CTO that works with founders and CxOs to better manage technology, engineering teams and innovation across your business.

How not use a real CTO?

An experienced CTO will ask for a salary between $350K and $500K annually. The reality is that the A-players may not have enough to do in your organization as such the Fractional model exists.

How much do you charge?

Retaining Oshri Cohen as FCTO for an entire year will cost about $140K. This is ~80% cheaper than a full-time CTO and about the same cost as your average developer.

CTO On Retainer

Think of this like having a lawyer on retainer, you need expert legal guidance, you call your lawyer. But who do you call when you need expert and impartial technical guidance.

Run my technology for me

You have a business to grow and you don't want to deal with technology because it's just not your thing. Offload it all to your FCTO, hiring me means that I take over all technical matters, make the decisions that need to be made, and manage the people and the projects.

For Established Businesses

You have an established business and you don't need a full-time CTO, this is the perfect model for you. I do everything that a full-timer would need to do.

I am your technical right-arm and my job is to make sure your technical initiatives (I can help you set them) are a success from day one.

For Startups

From pre-seed to series-A, I act as your official CTO on a part-time basis. I manage your team(s), set the technical roadmap, advise on your ambitions, hire your people and design your solutions.
