👋 Hey Product Hunt Community, 💬 So here's how it started... My cofounders and I built + sold a profitable SaaS startup over a decade, leading to a successful exit in 2021. (Read below for the full story⬇️) One key to success: fractional developers! Hiring dev talent was hard and we didn't want to shoulder the risk of partnering with hit-or-miss freelance or offshore talent. And in the early days, we also couldn't afford full-time devs. Rather than compromise, we hired senior developers who already had full-time roles at BIG corps, but had the capacity + talent to contribute 20-30 hours per week to our startup. We hired our first fractional developer to build integrations with software partners. We expanded our dev team, and our fractional developers built integrations, PDF Output, UI Components, and automated testing. They stayed with us for 8 years + through our exit. At exit in 2021, the HiddenLevers engineering team included 7 full-time and 5 fractional engineers. 🏆 What We Made: fractional developers solved our talent shortage + helped us reach our 2021 exit, so we built fraction.work to help other startups facing the same issue. Instead of competing against larger corporations with better networks + bigger budgets, we help startups access top developers by tapping into an exclusive talent pool - senior developers already working at Top Tech firms. 🤔 How does this work? - By registering for fraction.work, startups can browse + filter senior talent based on their tech stack needs. You can also schedule interviews directly, and we're working to automate the interview ➡️ feedback ➡️ hiring process. - Developers on fraction.work can contribute 20-30 hours/week long-term to support the growth of your product. - 100% of our developers are based in the USA 🇺🇸 so they will be available on your schedule. - Each of our developers is vetted by our 🤓 MIT-educated engineers + must pass a live coding assessment to be on our platform. Rather than settle for freelancers, fraction.work helps startups access US-based, senior fractional talent in a capital-efficient way. 💬 💬 The Full Story We built and sold a bootstrapped + profitable startup called HiddenLevers. With over $500 billion in platform assets, HiddenLevers offered client experience and home-office solutions aimed at financial advisors, asset managers, and wealth management executive teams. See here: https://www.wealthmanagement.com... Because the fractional model worked so well at HiddenLevers we decided to try this concept with select beta clients, including Lumiant and Orion, firms familiar to us from our wealth tech days. Those initial successes showed us the model could work for growing tech companies. TLDR: We've lived the fractional experience + see how it can transform the growth trajectory for a startup looking to take its product to the next level. 🤩 Seems cool, but how can I get started? 1️⃣ Register for fraction.work at app.fraction.work 2️⃣ Browse our developers by Tech Stack, Capability, Experience 3️⃣ Found a dev who is a perfect fit?
