I’ll be your fractional CPO 1 day a week - for free
I’m looking for one UK startup where I can act as a fractional CPO for 1 day a week, free of charge, for 12 weeks.
I have take two companies from just me to > £70m valuation and 100s of members of staff with 90% CSAT. Seed, Series A and Series B.
What would I actually do?
One focused day a week helping you:
- Identify the highest-value customer problems worth solving using an Opportunity Solution Tree
- Put proper continuous discovery in place
- Enable a clear Product Operating Model so product isn’t just a feature factory
- Respectfully Challenge roadmap items that aren’t likely to create value
- Coach your PM/product team where useful
- Connect product decisions more directly to revenue, retention and growth
It’s to help answer:
Are we building the right things, for the right customers, for the right commercial reasons?
Why free?
I want to build a strong, measurable case study around what happens when a startup introduces senior product leadership without hiring a £240k+ full-time CPO (my last salary)
My dad recently died. I need to do something new now but not full time. I need some time for family and I. ❤️
So there is a trade: you get 12 days of my time. I get permission to document the before/after journey and results (anonymised if necessary).
Best fit: UK startup, existing product/customers, founder-led, SaaS, probably 5–50 people, with enough traction that prioritisation and product strategy are becoming real problems.
If that sounds like your company, DM me with what you build, team size and the biggest product problem keeping you awake……
