What You Get — Not What Most Fractional CTOs Offer
Most fractional CTO services sell advisory hours. You get a senior person on a call for 5-10 hours a week who reviews your architecture, offers opinions, and disappears. Fowara is structurally different.
When you engage a Fowara Fractional CTO, you get:
- A CTO who writes code. Architecture reviews AND pull requests. Strategy AND shipping.
- A team of 10+ engineers behind that CTO — backend, frontend, DevOps, QA. One engagement, full delivery capability.
- AI-first methodology. Every workflow uses Anthropic Claude — architecture reviews, code generation, catalog operations, testing. This is how we cut timelines by 50%+.
- B2B e-commerce depth. Punchout catalogs, buyer portals, ERP integration, multi-tenant platforms. Not generic SaaS advice.

Why Atlanta Companies Choose Fowara
Atlanta is a Tier-2 market for fractional CTO services, with rates typically ranging $200-$275/hour. But most Atlanta options are either solo practitioners without engineering teams, or large consultancies that sell advisory hours without delivery capability.
Fowara is the only Atlanta-based fractional CTO practice that combines hands-on B2B e-commerce expertise with a full engineering team. We're not a matchmaking service. We're not a staffing agency. We're a CTO and engineering org that embeds inside your company.
