Why New Haven companies hire fractional CROs

The typical trigger in this market is a financing or clinical milestone at a research-stage company with no commercial infrastructure. A fractional CRO gives you the same executive seat and sales judgment on 1–3 days per week, without the base salary, equity, and benefits load of a permanent hire.

  • Sales is founder-led and not scaling past you
  • Pipeline is inconsistent and forecast is unreliable
  • You are moving from PLG to sales-led (or the reverse)
  • The current VP Sales isn't delivering and needs coaching or replacement
