At the seed stage stage, you face unique technical and organizational challenges. Here's how a fractional cto helps:
At the seed stage stage ($500K - $3M), you need a fractional cto who understands the unique pressures of your growth phase. You're not a large company with established processes—you need someone who can move fast while building foundations that scale.

“Aravind is in the top 1% of engineers I've hired. He supported us from $100K to $5M ARR, keeping us shipping through crazy growth and investor scrutiny.”
Seed Stage startups ($500K - $3M raised) typically need a fractional cto when scaling from mvp to production-grade. At this stage, you need senior technical leadership without the full-time commitment or cost.
For Seed Stage startups, fractional cto engagements typically range from $8,000-20,000/month for 10-25 hours/week. This is significantly less than a full-time hire ($300-500K+ salary + equity) while getting senior expertise from day one.
At Seed Stage, a fractional cto focuses on scaling from mvp to production-grade and making first engineering hires. They provide part-time executive technical leadership tailored to your funding stage and growth trajectory.
Typical Seed Stage engagements last 6-18 months. Many startups continue through their next funding round, with the fractional cto eventually helping hire a full-time replacement.
