Technical advisor

Also called: technical adviser, tech advisor, technology advisor, engineering advisor

An experienced engineer or technology leader who gives a startup occasional advice on technical choices, such as what to build on and whom to hire. They do not run the work, which is the difference from a fractional CTO, and are often paid in equity.

For example: A founder meets a technical advisor once a month to sanity-check a contractor's proposal, and grants advisor shares in return.
