In this episode of The Pre-Seed Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore a practical strategy for idea-stage founders who need technical leadership but can't yet afford a full-time CTO: hiring a fractional CTO. They walk through a real case study of a fintech startup called Plinr that used a part-time technical co-founder to build their MVP in 12 weeks for under $40,000. The hosts break down how to find a fractional CTO, structure the engagement (equity + cash), and avoid common pitfalls like misaligned incentives or lack of documentation. They also discuss when to transition from fractional to full-time CTO as the startup scales. Whether you're a non-technical founder or just looking to conserve runway, this episode gives you a concrete playbook for getting your first product built without giving away too much equity or burning cash. #FractionalCTO #PreSeed #MVP #TechLeadership #Startup #Plinr #Fintech #Business #Technology #Founder #Equity #Runway #ProductDevelopment #Hiring #TechnicalCoFounder #LeanStartup #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
