Fractional CTO here. I’m involved in basically everything. I write pitches, roadmaps, attend meetings, contribute to the business plan, and so on. I have experience from many startups and know the “game” pretty well, so I usually have something meaningful to contribute with in most areas.
If you are purely technical, you can identify your weak spots and try to either delegate tasks or upskill in those areas.
However, your CEO should be taking care of talking to clients and pitching to VCs. That’s their job. Of course you can play a part in that, but your focus should be on recruiting, managing developers, building the product, creating a good culture, etc.
