FounderArc
Part-time CFOs, CTOs/CPOs, COOs and CMOs who plug in fast — giving you senior expertise without the cost, hiring risk, or six-month notice period of a full-time executive.
Typical engagement: 6-month minimum · ₹30K–₹1L/month retainer · 10–30 hrs/month
You get someone who's actually held the role before — not a junior consultant reading off a framework.
Financial strategy, fundraising support, board reporting and cash-flow discipline, without a full-time finance hire on payroll.
Best for: pre-fundraise and cash-flow-critical stagesTechnical leadership, product roadmap, and engineering hiring decisions from someone who's actually shipped and scaled a product before.
Best for: pre-product-market-fit and technical scalingOperational rigor — process, hiring, vendor management and the day-to-day execution founders rarely have bandwidth for.
Best for: post-PMF, scaling operationsGrowth strategy, brand positioning and marketing team structure, built by someone who's actually run growth before, not just studied it.
Best for: scaling customer acquisitionMost experienced CXOs prefer a minimum runway to actually make an impact — here's what a typical engagement looks like.
Why the 6-month minimum?A senior operator can't fix your finance function or fix your GTM motion in a two-week sprint. Six months is roughly the shortest runway in which an experienced CXO can actually change an outcome, not just point at what's broken.
