Three reasons companies like using a workspace to access and manage fractional skills.
- Equity-Free Expertise: Access to our knowledge without imposing equity requirements on them for the value. We believe in collaboration, not ownership. The startup-to-scale-up process is a marathon that can take years, not a sprint that aligns with traditional vesting periods rarely realized for employees due to business failure rates. While exchanging equity-based shares and ownership is expected, a cash basis is fairer for workers and fosters the endurance and collaboration required for the marathon that companies are on.
- Resource Flexibility: Gaining talent and skills from highly skilled fractionals who aren’t CxOs too far removed from the execution required, transactional freelancers who aren’t mission-aligned, or part-time contractors who require hand-holding to get work done while paying for idle time. Our unique usage-based pricing allows companies to optimize their resources efficiently to reduce unnecessary overhead costs and de-risk their operations until replacing our fractionals with full-time employees make financial sense.
- Culture Development: Our Residents use Fractio because they want to be mission-aligned and leverage our platform to make it possible but don’t expect to be employees for anyone. This also helps companies who use our workspaces figure out who they are in the long run while maintaining a positive, mission-driven culture and allowing our platform to help them avoid operational pitfalls like culture erosion, disparity, and silos that can destroy a company from within beyond running out of money.
