Fractional Chief Product Officer

Early on, the founder operates as the CPO although they don’t typically have formal Product Management experience. At some point they are ready to bring someone in to take the product to the next level, but often they are not ready financially to make the leap to a full time role.

We can help bridge that gap and operate as a Fractional CPO and typically flex from 15 to 30 hours per week.

Examples of how we help:

  • Vision & Product Roadmap Definition

  • Strategic Planning

  • Pricing & Monetization Strategy

  • Hiring & Team Management

  • Competitor Analysis

  • Budgeting

  • Product Marketing

  • SDLC Process
