A fractional leadership platform that puts senior operators in AI execution, growth, operations, and risk – for businesses that need answers now, not later.
Fract75, a platform focused on fractional leadership and execution infrastructure, is officially launched today with a mission to help modern enterprises scale faster through deployment of carefully selected operators rather than traditional hiring.
The companies of the future will be smaller, faster and more modular. ”
— Christopher McDonald, Fract75 Co-Founder
As startups and growth-stage companies face increasing pressure to move faster with leaner teams, Frat75 is positioning itself as a new type of operating layer. The platform connects vetted senior operators and companies across product, growth, operations, AI, security, finance and strategy through structured, results-driven assignments.
The company believes that the traditional scaling model of large, full-time executive teams is beginning to change as AI reshapes the way companies are built, hired, and run.
“Companies of the future will be smaller, faster and more modular,” said Fract75 co-founder Christopher McDonald. “AI can automate tasks, accelerate workflows, and reduce operational overhead, but it cannot replace judgment, pattern recognition, and real-world execution experience. Frat75 exists to help companies place proven operators exactly where they are needed most, without long hiring cycles, agency overhead, or a fragmented freelance market.”

Unlike traditional consulting marketplaces, Fract75 is not open enrollment. Operators are vetted based on seniority, execution experience, and high-growth operating experience. Companies are engaging in structured mandate design processes aimed at reducing adoption friction and accelerating deployment to critical business gaps.
The launch comes amid accelerating demand for fractional leadership across the startup ecosystem. The global fractional executive market is approximately $5.7 billion and is growing at 14% annually due to increased pressure on capital efficiency due to AI adoption, lean workforce models, and recent changes in the venture market.
According to the company, the idea for Frat75 came from first-hand experience building and scaling companies, where the founders repeatedly saw how much time, capital, and momentum was lost due to misaligned hiring, disconnected advisory relationships, and execution bottlenecks.
According to the founders, companies often waste months searching for the right talent, managing unreachable consultants, and implementing advice with insufficient operational follow-through. Even companies with experienced founders and deep pockets can lose significant momentum due to slow hiring processes, unclear mandates, and operational misalignment.
Fract75 was designed to create a more structured, execution-focused model for placing proven operators into high-impact business gaps.
Fract75 currently supports deployment in the following ranges:
• Products and product operations.
• GTM and revenue operations
• AI and automation
• Cybersecurity and risk
• Financial and strategic operations.
• Startup system and scaling infrastructure
In addition to operator deployment, the company also develops internal frameworks and monitoring systems designed to help companies structure missions, define execution objectives, and improve operational visibility across the business.
“The increase in fractional work is bigger than consulting,” McDonald added. “We believe that enterprises are moving to a modular operating model that allows them to dynamically deploy expertise as needed, and Frat75 is building the infrastructure for that transition.”
Fract75 is currently onboarding companies and operators around the world, with an initial focus on venture-backed startups, growth-stage technology companies, and AI-native businesses seeking flexible execution support.
