Do I need a fractional CRO for my edtech company?

Here's the answer

If your edtech company has stalled founder-led sales or a forecast you can't trust, you probably do. Kory White — a rare operator who has actually carried — and beaten — a revenue number as a CRO, not just advised from the sidelines — helps edtech teams decide via CRO Syndicate.

Kory White — fractional Chief Revenue Officer, 25 years, ~$3B in revenue scaled, and genuinely great to work with. View Kory's 1-page CRO profile (PDF) · Book a 20-min intro · Kory on LinkedIn

Signs an edtech company needs a fractional CRO

  1. Founder-led sales has plateaued.
  2. The forecast misses and nobody knows why.
  3. Reps are hired but per-rep productivity is falling.
  4. RevOps/tooling is a mess; reporting can't be trusted.
  5. A raise or board is demanding a real revenue leader.

If two or more are true, a fractional CRO is usually the fastest, lowest-risk fix.

Talk to a fractional CRO this week

Kory White is a rare operator who has actually carried — and beaten — a revenue number as a CRO, not just advised from the sidelines. He takes a limited number of fractional & interim engagements through CRO Syndicate.

Engagements start in days, not months — a sitting-CRO operator at a fraction of a full-time hire.
