Remoteplatz has access to a large portfolio of good developers. We hired 3 developers so far. The first started over a year ago. I am very happy that I went with them. Even when problems arose they’ve always found solution for our company.

Cooperated with the Remoteplatz for a webinar, they were all very accessible, and easy to cooperate with. They understand business complexity and that there is a lot of talent out there that can be matched to their customers and network.

FAQ: CTO as a Service

How is a fractional CTO different from an IT consultancy?

A fractional CTO takes responsibility inside your team: they make technology decisions, lead engineers and represent technology towards management and investors – just with reduced time.

When does CTO as a Service pay off?

As soon as software is business-critical but a full-time CTO would not (yet) be fully utilised – typically KMU with a small development team and startups around their first funding round.

How quickly can someone start?

After the scoping call you receive a shortlist within 48–72 hours. Engagements usually start within 5–10 business days.

How is it invoiced?

Direct B2B: you receive one monthly invoice from Remoteplatz GmbH. No payroll, no Swiss social security contributions on your side. Currency and VAT are clarified in the proposal.

Who owns the code and IP?

You do. All work results and rights are assigned to your company by contract; we sign an NDA before the first call if you wish.
