FAQs

Startup Technology Consulting: frequently asked questions

What is a fractional or virtual CTO?

A senior technology leader who works with you part-time, typically a few days a month, owning technology strategy, architecture and vendor oversight until you are ready for a full-time CTO.

We already have a development agency. Why do we need you?

An independent technical adviser checks that the right thing is being built, built well and at a fair cost. We review scope, code and delivery on your behalf, which protects your budget and timeline.

Can you help us with Startup India registration too?

Yes. Our CA and CS team handles DPIIT Startup India recognition, company incorporation and compliance, so technology and legal setup move together.

How is this engagement priced?

Usually as a fixed monthly retainer for an agreed number of days, or a short fixed-fee sprint for a specific decision such as stack selection or MVP scoping.
