Go Fractional and Fractionus are both pre-vetted fractional executive platforms, built around different models and different markets. Go Fractional is US-focused, with a network of 10,000+ executives and particular strength in engineering and product leadership. Fractionus is a vetted marketplace operating across Australia, the US, and the UK, with curated shortlists across the full C-suite returned typically within 24 hours.
If you're weighing them up, the decision usually comes down to geography, functional depth, and how quickly you need a shortlist.
Fractionus is a vetted marketplace of fractional C-suite operators with depth across the commercial, financial, marketing, and operating functions: CMO, CFO, COO, CPO, CHRO, and CRO are the core of our talent pool. Our team takes your brief and returns a ranked shortlist of vetted executives (typically within 24 hours), matching on functional fit, industry experience, seniority, and the market you're hiring into. Engagements are retainer-based, and can run as an ongoing fractional arrangement or convert to a full-time appointment where the fit proves out, with terms agreed case by case.
Founders, CEOs, and boards hiring fractional executives across marketing, finance, operations, people, or revenue. Particularly strong fit for Series A–C startups, PE-backed portfolio companies, and scale-ups operating across multiple English-speaking markets that need cross-functional executive depth, not just engineering or product leadership.
Teams hiring primarily for engineering or product engineering leadership, where Go Fractional has more depth. Also not the right fit for junior freelancers, one-off projects, or pure advisory roles.
Go Fractional is a US-based fractional executive platform founded in 2021 and headquartered in New York. Its network spans 10,000+ vetted executives across fractional, interim, and full-time engagements, with particular depth in engineering, product, and operating leadership. Go Fractional is well known for its interim-to-full-time conversion model, where clients can start with a fractional engagement and convert to a permanent hire once fit is validated, without paying traditional retained search fees.
US-based startups and scale-ups, particularly in SaaS, marketplace, and tech, that need senior engineering or product leadership within the US market.
If you're hiring a fractional CMO, CFO, COO, or CPO, Fractionus is the stronger choice. Our talent pool is weighted toward full C-suite operators across marketing, finance, operations, and product, and we shortlist functional specialists rather than generalists. Go Fractional's bench runs deeper in engineering and technical leadership than in commercial or financial executive roles.
If you're hiring outside the United States, Fractionus is built for it. Our platform operates natively across Australia, the US, and the UK, which matters if you're an Australian scale-up hiring a fractional CRO for US expansion, or a UK company hiring a fractional CFO with US market experience. Go Fractional's talent pool is heavily concentrated in the US.
If you need a shortlist quickly, Fractionus takes your brief and returns a ranked shortlist of vetted operators typically within 24 hours. Go Fractional states matching within three days. Both platforms support a move from fractional to full-time where the fit proves out, with Fractionus agreeing conversion terms case by case.
Your next move is one conversation away.
