Our leadership-as-a-subscription service is tailored for:

• Startups with less than $10M in ARR.

• Startups with a runway of at least 12 months.

• Founders who view time as a competitive advantage and don't want to waste any.

• Founders who prefer proactive, real-time expert guidance to save time and funding.

• Founders who want to stretch every dollar and delay additional capital raises to minimize dilution.

• Founders who need to improve valuation metrics so they can raise capital on favorable terms or achieve a quick exit.

According to Glassdor, the average salary for a single full-time executive exceeds $190k annually. In addition to the salary, executives also receive annual bonuses ranging from $100k to $150k and benefits. The employer is responsible for paying FICA employer taxes and may offer equity in the company, typically ranging from 1% to 5%.

This can result in a total cost exceeding $300k per year for just one executive. However, for startups to scale effectively, they require a team of executives including a CEO, CTO, CMO, COO, CRO, CFO, and CPO. Most startups with less than $10M in revenue find it challenging to allocate $1.8M+ in payroll solely for the executive team. Additionally, they need to build a team of regular employees.

CXO Centre offers a cost-effective solution for early-stage startups, allowing them to access experienced executives and strategic guidance for as low as $30,000 a year ($2,500 per month). This approach helps startups avoid the risks associated with not having experienced leadership team, such as costly mistakes, missed opportunities, and slower growth. By tapping into top executive talent on demand, startups can mitigate these risks and benefit from informed decision-making, effective problem-solving, and efficient resource allocation, ultimately enabling them to breeze past $10M in ARR faster.

Now, your startup can get the expertise you need vs. what you can afford.

We offer three subscription tiers: Silver (part-time under 20%), Gold (part-time 20-80%), and Platinum (full-time leadership).

You could be paying as low as $2500 for a C-level executive a month.

At CXO centre - Fractional leadership is the engagement of experienced C-suite executives—such as CEOs, COOs, CTOs, or CFOs—on a part-time or contract basis.

Instead of hiring a full-time executive, organizations gain strategic expertise, operational oversight, and leadership accountability at a level and cost aligned with their current stage of growth.

Fractional leaders integrate into your business, drive measurable outcomes, and support decision-making without long-term employment overhead.

Fractional leadership solutions provide organizations with access to experienced executive leaders on a flexible, part-time, or project-based basis.

These solutions are designed to deliver strategic direction, operational oversight, and performance accountability without the cost and commitment of full-time executive hires.

They typically include roles such as Fractional CEO, COO, CTO, or CFO, as well as board advisory and growth strategy support—tailored to a company’s stage, complexity, and objectives.

The focus is not advisory alone. Fractional leaders embed within the organization, align teams, establish governance structures, define KPIs, and drive execution toward measurable outcomes.

Hiring a fractional leader provides access to senior-level expertise without the long-term cost and commitment of a full-time executive.

Key benefits include:

• Cost efficiency – Pay for the strategic leadership you need, when you need it, without full-time salary, equity dilution, or long-term employment overhead.

• Immediate impact – Experienced executives integrate quickly, assess gaps, and implement structured action plans without extended ramp-up periods.

• Strategic clarity – Fractional leaders bring external perspective, governance discipline, and data-driven decision-making to guide growth and stability.

• Operational accountability – Beyond advice, they establish KPIs, reporting structures, and execution frameworks to ensure measurable results.

• Scalable flexibility – Engagement can increase or decrease based on business stage, funding cycles, or transformation milestones.

• Reduced hiring risk – Avoid costly executive mis-hires while still gaining top-tier leadership capability.

A fractional leader is not a consultant on the sidelines—they embed within the organization to align strategy with execution and deliver tangible outcomes.
