Organizations such startups (across all stages) or SMEs often do not have the budgets to hire a full time CTO.

Dextralabs’ CTO Office provides organizations in such situations with complete CTO Office services to ensure business continuity. Here are a few types of organizations/scenarios where DextraLabs’ CTO office shall be essential:

1. Startups: Startups often lack the technology knowhow and budget to hire a full-time CTO. However, they still require strategic technological guidance. The CTO Office can provide expertise in technology selection, product development strategies, scalability planning, and help in building a technology roadmap aligned with its business goals.
2. SMBs: Small and medium-sized businesses may not have the budget to employ a full-time CTO, especially if their technological needs are intermittent or project-based.
