Should a Series B company hire a fractional CRO in 2027?

Here's the answer

Why a Series B company hires fractional first

At this stage you need senior revenue judgment now — but a $300k+ full-time CRO (plus equity) is premature. A fractional CRO gives you a sitting operator 1–3 days/week, with a clear 30/60/90 and a kill switch.
