FAQ

Questions founders ask

What do the Fractional CRO and Fractional CTO roles cover?

Fractional CRO is for founders who have outgrown founder-led sales: pipeline architecture, sales hiring and coaching, commission plans, a board-ready forecast, and HubSpot rebuilt as the revenue operating system. It is embedded weekly with the leadership team on a two-quarter renewable term. Fractional CTO is for companies putting AI to work in operations: AI agents in production with human sign-off, CRM, finance and commerce integrations that reconcile, and build-or-buy decisions. It is scoped per build, then quarterly. Dean also offers Leader Advisory, twice-monthly private counsel for founders and CEOs over twelve months. Each can be combined with Built to Exit.
