Founder-led SaaS teams without a product leader.
What a fractional CPO costs.
Independent fractional CPOs for SaaS publish rates around $5,000 a month for part-time work. Ours are advisory hours, month to month: 5 hours a week for $3,500, 10 for $6,500, or 20 for $11,500.
Before you ask.
Do you own the roadmap, or advise on it?
Either. Some teams want a second opinion on calls they already own; others want someone running roadmap and prioritization directly. We agree which before we start.
How is this different from a product consultant?
A consultant delivers a framework and leaves. A fractional CPO is accountable for the roadmap and its results, the way a full-time CPO would be.
What if we don't have a product manager yet?
That's a common starting point. We build the first product process, from discovery through roadmap, that a future product hire can take over.
