Start With a Fractional CTO
Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.
In launching a startup, the watchword is minimal.
Minimum fund raise, minimum team, minimum viable product.
The CTO is a key component of the startup team.
Start with a fractional CTO rather than a full-time hire.
Here is what a fractional CTO does:
They advise on the project rather than command direct reports.
They review the engineering designs for strengths and weaknesses.
They set the architecture of the product.
They design the technical roadmap.
They choose the tech stack.
They advise on the tools to use.
They provide training to the early-stage developers.
They review the overall project plans.
They develop the budget for the project and teams.
The fractional CTO can work remotely.
At the early stage, the startup works on the minimum viable product.
This doesn’t require a full-time CTO but rather someone who is familiar with the application.
Consider a fractional CTO for your early-stage product.
Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.
Let’s go startup something today.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
