The AI boom has transformed what’s possible.
But building a business around those possibilities is still hard.
At Generative, we’ve spoken to countless early-stage founders who are under pressure to move fast, make hires, and show measurable progress. But with limited time and budget, hiring full-time leadership or senior technical experts just isn’t realistic.
Going it alone isn’t much better. Trying to scale without experienced input can stall momentum. Or worse – send your startup in the wrong direction.
That’s why we created Generative Fractional.
A platform designed specifically for AI startups, Generative Fractional connects growing companies with experienced fractional talent on a part-time, short-term, or project basis.
Whether you need a Fractional CTO to help shape your roadmap or a seasoned People leader to build your hiring plan, Generative Fractional makes it easier to bring in the right people at the right time.
Why Fractional?
Fractional hiring is nothing new. But in AI, it’s becoming essential.
From navigating model architecture to launching enterprise pilots, AI startups face complex, technical, and often unfamiliar challenges. Most teams can’t afford to figure it out as they go. And they shouldn’t have to.
Fractional leaders help plug experience gaps early, offering strategic input and hands-on execution without the long-term commitment or overhead.
We help companies unlock this model faster, smarter, and with more confidence.
How It Works
Generative Fractional is designed to be simple, selective, and founder-first. Here’s how it works:
- For AI startups: We learn what you’re building and where you need support. Then, we connect you with fractional talent from our vetted expert pool – people with the right skills, stage-fit experience, and availability to jump in.
- For experts: We surface high-quality opportunities to work with ambitious companies, whether you’re looking for your next engagement or building a fractional portfolio.
Every match is curated. No endless browsing, no cold outreach.
Who’s on the Platform?
Our network includes operators, advisors, and technical leaders who’ve helped build and scale some of the most respected names in AI, SaaS, and deep tech.
You’ll find former founders, ex-Big Tech engineers, GTM specialists, and domain experts across:
- Product & engineering
- Talent & people
- Marketing & growth
- Operations & finance
They’ve seen what works (and what doesn’t) and know how to apply that insight in fast-moving, early-stage environments.
Back to Basics (and Ready to Build)
Since launching, dozens of brilliant experts have joined Generative Fractional. But as we grow, we’re stripping things back to focus on what matters:
Making it easier for the right people to find and work with each other.
If you’re an AI founder building with limited resources – or an operator looking to shape the future of AI from the inside – we’d love to hear from you.
Generative Fractional is about more than matching talent.
It’s about helping ambitious teams build better companies from day one.
