FAQ

Fractional CTO for Education & EdTech — questions

Why does Education & EdTech need Fractional CTO services?
Education providers and EdTech blend student experience, data privacy and tight budgets. Fractional CTO directly addresses that: a technical strategy your board and investors trust, and a roadmap tied to commercial milestones, not hype.
How much time does a fractional CTO commit?
Engagements typically run one to three days a week, scaled to what the business needs. Enough to lead and be accountable, without the cost of a full-time executive.
When should we hire a fractional CTO instead of a full-time one?
When you need senior technical leadership now but the role — or the runway — cannot yet justify a full-time executive. A fractional CTO also helps you define and later hire the permanent one.
