Question 1

What does a fractional CMO do for a startup?

Accepted Answer

A fractional CMO provides senior marketing leadership on a part-time or project basis. For startups, this means building your GTM strategy, setting up revenue operations, hiring and directing junior marketing and sales staff, and owning growth targets — without the cost of a full-time executive hire.

Question 2

When should a startup hire a fractional CMO or CRO?

Accepted Answer

The right time is typically when you have early product-market fit and $1M–$10M ARR, but you're not ready to justify a $300K+ full-time CMO or CRO. If your founder-led sales is plateauing, you have junior marketing hires without clear direction, or your CAC and LTV are not where they need to be, a fractional executive can step in immediately.

Question 3

What services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Fractional CMO and CRO, revenue operations, GTM strategy, and hands-on growth execution. Engagements range from a single strategy session to an ongoing partnership, structured around hourly, project-based, or retainer arrangements.

Question 4

What is the minimum commitment?

Accepted Answer

After an initial discovery call to identify your goals, the scope is agreed together. Engagements can range from a single strategy meeting to an ongoing partnership depending on your needs.
