Common Questions from 5G & Edge Computing Companies

When should a 5g & edge computing company hire a fractional CTO?

The ideal time is when you're facing technical decisions that will significantly impact your growth trajectory, but can't justify the $250k+ cost of a full-time CTO. Common scenarios include: preparing for a funding round, scaling infrastructure to handle growth, achieving compliance certifications, or building your first technical team.

How is CTO as a service different from a technical consultant?

Our CTO as a service model provides an executive-level technical leader who makes strategic decisions, owns outcomes, and provides ongoing leadership. Unlike consultants who deliver reports, CTO as a service means we're accountable for execution and results, deeply embedded in your 5g & edge computing business, and committed to your long-term success.

What's the typical engagement length for 5g & edge computing companies?

Engagements typically range from 3-12 months typical engagement. Some companies need focused help for specific projects (e.g., achieving SOC 2 compliance), while others benefit from ongoing strategic leadership through multiple growth stages. We remain flexible to scale the engagement as your needs evolve.

Can CTO as a service help with hiring and managing our engineering team?

Absolutely. Team building is a core function of our CTO as a service offering. We help define roles, source candidates, conduct technical interviews, make hiring decisions, mentor developers, establish engineering processes, and build a high-performance culture. Many of our 5g & edge computing clients specifically engage our CTO as a service to build their first technical team from scratch.
