Plenty of people are working as "Cloud CTO's" these days - Basically senior developers (with or without a team of their own) who can help you architect, build and scale your products. Some work on cash, some purely on equity also. They will also offer solid tech advice on other aspects like SEO, Digital Marketing etc. though they may not be experts in those.

In my experience, good technical guys are either blocked by large corporations (the Google's and Microsoft's of the world) or are doing something of their own, so finding good cofounder/CTO talent is a big challenge. The cloud CTO model has worked well for a surprisingly large number of startups.

Disclosure: I work on the same model as well.
