Fractional CxO Model

The Fractional CxO (CTO, COO, etc.) model is effective with startups, especially considering the kinds of professionals that startups can access and the flexibility of the arrangements made possible through this model. We can be a great fit to work with you in the early stages of your ventures for a variety of reasons, including:

Startup Mindset

New ventures often need talent that can work both on the company and in the company. We know how to both create and execute processes. We have the experience, training, and professionalism to act as both sidekick and mercenary in the wilderness of a new venture. In particular, we have experience and formal training in medical technology R&D leadership, systems thinking, and entrepreneurship.

Navigating Uncertainty and Ambiguity

New ventures face enormous uncertainty and budget constraints. A ‘fractional’ model means a capped monthly expense. Equity-related arrangements are also possible, though less common. We also have a niche skillset to enhance decision-making under deep uncertainty, virtually guaranteeing we will appreciate your need for a flexible arrangement, and for talent that can work under ambiguity and still add value.

Brand and Reputation Protection

New ventures must carefully guard their brand and reputation. We can operate as stealthily or as publicly as needed. We never share any information about your venture without explicit permission and agreement about the purpose. You own any and all intellectual property developed in pursuit of the opportunities we discover together.
