Founders & Fractionals

​Most founders don't know what a fractional CFO, CMO, or COO actually costs. Or how to find one. Or when it even makes sense to bring one in.

​The fractional space has exploded over the last few years, but it's still weirdly hard to navigate. There are a hundred different ways to structure the engagement, a hundred different price points, and no real playbook for how to vet someone before you hand them the keys to a critical part of your business. Most founders figure it out by trial and error, or don't figure it out at all.

​That's what this series is for.

​Each month, we put a founder and a fractional in the same room to talk through how they actually found each other, what the working relationship looked like in practice, and what they'd do differently. Real structures. Real numbers. Real answers to the questions most people are too embarrassed to ask in a bigger room.

​No panels. No pitch decks. One founder, one fractional, one honest conversation.

​Fireside chat with Elahe Hosseini from Hosseini PLLC and Faris Bseiso, CEO and Founder of Cipher Music to open. Snacks and networking after.

​If you're a founder trying to figure out how to get senior-level support without a senior-level salary, or a fractional looking to connect with founders who understand the value of what you do, this one's for you.
