Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Fractional CTO?: A fractional CTO helps companies achieve their goals by building high-performing technical teams and can also entail writing software. It most commonly is used by startups experiencing growth and is a position tailored to the exact needs of the company. This position can range from advisory for a few hours a week to a proper part-time position. The end goal is to leave the position once the team is functioning autonomously.
Who is behind Phase?: Phase was founded by Marcel Eschmann, who has close to two decades of experience in software with roughly eight of those years spent as CTO. The work has ranged from realtime audio processing in music technology to product development under European regulation in preventive health. The strength of Phase Software lies within the network built during that time. Based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Where can I find pricing?: We work in two ways: fractional CTO engagements (hourly or retainer, depending on scale) and fixed-scope projects. Pricing depends on which fits your situation, please reach out with a brief description of your needs and we'll take it from there in a call.
