The New Haven market for VP Products
New Haven's economy revolves around Yale, biotech and pharma spinouts, healthcare systems, and a growing life-sciences real estate footprint. Companies are science-first and often years from revenue. Fractional executives supply the operating and financial structure grant-funded and venture-funded science companies need.
Why New Haven companies hire fractional VP Products

- PMs are shipping features but not outcomes
- The roadmap is a wish list, not a strategy
