Two broken experiences,
one platform to fix them.

For Executives

01Hard to find quality engagements without recruiter spam.
02No way to signal availability without broadcasting to your network.

For Companies

01Recruiters charge full-time fees for fractional searches.
02No trust signal that the executive has actually done this before.

The caliber of executives
you'll access.

Every executive on StartFractional is individually reviewed — background verified, references checked, and fractional track record confirmed before they ever appear in a match.

We needed a fractional CFO fast, without the recruiter circus. StartFractional matched us with three verified candidates in under 72 hours. We closed the engagement two weeks later.

I was tired of cold recruiter calls for roles that weren't a fit. One profile here got me two qualified intro calls in the first month — both companies were exactly the stage I work best with.

The double-sided vetting was the deciding factor for us. We knew the executive had actually run fractional engagements before — not just a full-time exec looking for a side gig.
