Why Choose a Fractional CTO for Your Sports Startup?

A Fractional CTO offers the same level of strategic guidance as a full-time CTO but on a part-time, flexible basis. This allows your startup to develop a solid technology foundation, manage product development, and scale without the high cost of a permanent executive.
