Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fractional CTO?

A fractional CTO is a part-time expert (10-20 hours/week) who works alongside your team. They design architecture, mentor engineers, and make critical technical decisions. Less expensive than a full-time hire, more involved than consulting.

How much does a dedicated AWS expert cost?

Fractional AWS expertise typically costs $5,000-$15,000/month depending on engagement level and startup stage. This is offset by AWS cost savings (30-40% reduction) and avoiding expensive architectural mistakes.

Can a dedicated expert help with fundraising?

Yes. We help prepare technical diligence materials for VCs: architecture diagrams, infrastructure documentation, security posture, and cost roadmaps. This accelerates investor confidence in your technical team.

Key Challenges We Solve

No In-House AWS Expertise

Early teams often have generalist engineers, not AWS specialists. Architectural mistakes compound over time, making later migrations expensive.

Cost Control from Day One

Without AWS expertise, teams over-provision resources and waste 30-40% of cloud spend. By the time they optimize, they are financially stressed.

Scaling Without Re-Architecture

What works for an MVP (single instance, single database) will not scale to Series A. Without expert guidance, teams face mid-growth infrastructure crises.

Our Approach

Hands-On Architecture Design

Our expert designs your initial AWS architecture: compute (EC2/Fargate), database (RDS/DynamoDB), storage (S3), and observability (CloudWatch). Built for growth.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Setup

Terraform or CloudFormation infrastructure, CI/CD pipeline (CodePipeline), and deployment automation. Your team inherits reproducible, version-controlled infrastructure.

Ongoing AWS Mentorship

Monthly architecture reviews, cost optimization recommendations, security audits, and on-call support for critical issues. Your team learns AWS best practices.
