Fraction is a US-based fractional talent platform built to help startups and growing companies access senior-level engineering and growth talent without the cost and risk of full-time hires. Through its AI-automated portal, Fraction matches clients with vetted US-based senior developers, AI engineers, designers, product managers, CTOs, growth marketers and CMOs who engage on long-term, part‑time ("fractional") arrangements. The model is designed to give founders and leaders execution-ready expertise that plugs directly into their existing workflows.
Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Atlanta, Fraction was created by practical SaaS operators who had previously scaled and exited a bootstrapped software company using fractional engineers. That experience shaped the company’s delivery model: every engagement combines senior individual contributors with project, product and architectural guidance, so clients get not only hands-on building but also strategic direction. Developers are screened for deep stack knowledge and communication skills, and the platform focuses exclusively on US-based talent to keep collaboration in familiar time zones.
Since launch, Fraction has grown rapidly, crossing seven-figure ARR within months and later surpassing $10M in annual recurring revenue in 2024. The company now serves more than a hundred SaaS and tech clients with a network of hundreds of senior engineers and technical leaders, many with backgrounds at major technology firms and high-growth startups. Typical engagements run 10–30 hours per week and are structured as ongoing relationships rather than one-off gigs, which helps teams maintain continuity while scaling capacity up or down.
Fraction positions itself between traditional offshore outsourcing and large freelance marketplaces. Unlike generic gig platforms, it narrows its focus to senior US-based talent and publishes clear, role-based monthly pricing for quarter-time, half-time and 3/4‑time packages, including discounted off-hours options. Compared with classic dev agencies or recruiters, Fraction emphasizes speed of matching, transparent pricing, and a 7‑day risk‑free trial for new placements, making it an attractive option for founders who need experienced hands on deck quickly but aren’t ready for additional full-time headcount.
