Most founder-led consumer brands don't need a full-time COO yet. They need senior operational ownership for a defined stretch.
Full-time COO: $250K to $400K all-in. Fractional COO: same caliber, scoped to the work.
When to hire which: https://t.co/b3MwcyTLTZ
How to structure it: start with a scoped project (defined scope, fixed window). Expand to an ongoing partnership if it works. When NOT to go fractional: post-Series A, or when the function is your core moat. That needs a full-time owner. Full guide:

Founders are generalists by necessity. Early on you run everything, and it works. Then one function starts to buckle under your attention, and no amount of hustle fixes it. That's when a fractional executive earns their keep. Here's how to know:
Which seat first? The one most on fire. Ops breaking (fulfillment, inventory, 3PL)? Fractional COO. Growth stalled, nobody senior owning the number? Fractional CMO. Cash tight, margins slipping, raise coming? Fractional CFO. Start with one seat. Add a second later if needed.
We build loud brands. Quietly.
