Unlocking Growth for Scale-Ups; with High-Impact Commercial Leadership
Why Fractional Edge?
Because scale-ups need more than advice; they need execution.
Most scale-up founders don’t need another consultant, coach, or vague strategic plan. They need someone who can step in, structure the chaos, and get things moving again.
Fractional Edge exists to connect ambitious scale-up founders with experienced commercial operators - people who’ve been there, done it, and can do it again. We’re not a recruitment firm. We’re not a consultancy. We’re a high-trust network built to deliver speed, fit, and commercial impact.
Our platform gives founders access to fractional leaders across marketing, sales, growth, and customer success - on flexible terms and without the drag of full-time hiring or the fluff of big-name consulting. We charge only when a successful meeting takes place between a business and a vetted fractional leader. After that, the relationship is direct and on your terms.
It’s simple, efficient, and designed for scale-up pace.
We work with:
Founders and CEOs navigating commercial inflection points
Investors seeking high-impact support for portfolio companies
Proven fractional operators looking for meaningful engagements
If you're stuck, stretched, or ready to scale faster - Fractional Edge gives you access to the commercial firepower you need to move.
