About this template

A fractional CTO proposal for a software company whose engineering slowed after its technical co-founder left. It covers releases and incidents over six months, what the role covers, what is not included, the first 90 days, the CTO’s background, a similar client’s results and three plans by days a week.

What’s in the Fractional CTO Proposal

10 parts, in the order your client reads them. Every part is editable: keep what fits the job, rewrite the rest and add your own.

  1. Overview

  2. Introduction

    You want engineering back on a steady footing before you raise your Series A next spring.

  3. Your situation

    From our two days with your team in October.

  4. Our recommendation

    Six months is enough to steady delivery, hire a permanent engineering lead and prepare for due diligence.

    Covers: Not included

  5. The first 90 days

    One-to-ones with every engineer, a review of the code, incidents and cloud bills.

  6. Who you will work with

    Twenty years in software, the last eight as CTO or fractional CTO at nine companies from seed to Series C.

  7. Results for a similar client

    A payments company after its founding CTO left, and what changed in five months.

    Covers: The client, The work, The result

  8. Plans and fees

    Three plans, each for at least three months. We recommend two days a week.

  9. Questions

    A good hire takes four to six months to find. This plan steadies the team now and helps you hire the right permanent lead.

  10. Next steps

    Pick a plan and any extras, then accept on this page.
