Profile

Traditional scaling requires significant capital investment in full-time executive talent AND their supporting teams. Fractional talent provides a strategic alternative that gives startups enterprise-level capabilities without the enterprise-level costs.

 

When founders talk about scaling, they typically envision hiring full-time executives and building departments around them. But what if there's a more capital-efficient approach that provides better expertise and greater flexibility? Drawing from my experience building Quickly Hire—a platform we built using our own fractional talent model—I'll share practical strategies for creating a "perfect-size team" that combines core staff with fractional specialists.

Attendees will learn:

  • Why hiring a single full-time executive often leads to bottlenecks without the supporting team to execute their vision
  • How to strategically balance full-time core functions with fractional specialists
  • Practical frameworks for managing distributed, part-time talent effectively
  • Real-world case studies showing the business impact of fractional scaling
  • Implementation guidelines for establishing the processes, tools, and culture needed for success


This isn't about replacing your team—it's about strategic resource allocation that lets you access enterprise-level expertise within startup constraints. Come learn how you can build your perfect-size team that maintains the agility startups need while accessing the specialized talent traditionally reserved for much larger companies.
