Most Common Startup Hires

  • Fractional CFO: Fundraising, financial modeling, investor relations
  • Fractional CTO: Technical architecture, team building, due diligence
  • Fractional CMO: Go-to-market strategy, brand building, demand gen

When to Hire

Most startups engage fractional executives post-Seed or at Series A stage, when they have product-market fit but need to scale.
