Hire a fractional Head of Product in days, not months.
A curated network of vetted fractional product leaders across Europe - matched to your stage, your need, and your timezone. Post a role free while we're in early access. Built and hand-matched by a practicing fractional product leader, not an algorithm.
A shortlist, not a search.
The reverse job board: you describe the need once, and matched fractional leaders come to you. No listing wall, no inbound spam, no retained-search fees.
Send your brief
Role, hours per week, duration, stage, budget range, timezone. Two minutes in the form below - no account, no login.
We hand-match 2-3 vetted leaders
Matched on function, seniority, stage fit, and timezone overlap - curated personally, not scored by an algorithm. If nobody fits, we tell you that instead.
You talk directly
We make the introduction, you take it from there. No platform fee on the engagement, no middleman in the contract, no percentage cut.
Founders get vetted talent. Leaders get real briefs.
Nobody pays a percentage. Nobody grinds through a profile wall.
Get product leadership without the full-time bet.
You're seed to Series A. Product needs an owner, but a $150k+ full-time hire isn't the move yet. A fractional leader at 10-20h/week usually is.
- Vetted Head of Product / CPO level only - no juniors, no generalist freelancers
- Matched to your stage and problem, not keyword-matched to a job title
- Timezone-compatible by design - matched by European timezone band
- Free to post during early access, flat fee later - never a cut of the engagement
Opportunities find you. Not the other way around.
You've done the operator years. Now you run a portfolio of engagements - and the worst part of the job is hunting for the next one.
- Curated briefs by email - only roles matching your function, seniority, and availability
- No public profile grind, no bidding wars - a private, opt-in network
- Direct introduction to the founder - you keep 100% of your rate
- Free now and always for talent - leave anytime, GDPR-clean opt-out
Every profile is read by a person. No keyword screen, no score. Four things have to be true.
- Has held the role. Head of Product, VP Product, or CPO. Not a senior PM stretching, not a generalist consultant with a product page.
- Has shipped at your stage. Seed to Series A is a different job from scale-up. Someone who only knows one is a poor match for the other.
- Public evidence of the work. LinkedIn plus a portfolio, written case studies, or a track record I can check.
- Genuinely available. Stated hours per week, not aspirational ones. A leader with no capacity is worse than no leader.
If someone does not clear that bar, they do not receive briefs. That is the only thing that makes the word mean anything.
Free for the first three roles.
Early access pricing, and it's honest about why: the network is new, and the first founders to post are taking a bet on it. That's worth something.

Three is not a countdown gimmick - it's how many founders can get a properly hand-matched shortlist while the network is this size.
Two minutes, either way.
Every brief gets a human reply within 2 business days - including the ones we can't help with.
Run by a practitioner, not a portal.
The role, lived - not listed.
Aleksander works as a fractional product leader himself. See the receipts: FOUND, elyps, UX Pilot.
The network came before the board.
Built from 300+ startups trained and 20+ product organisations supported through ProductTrio - not scraped profiles or cold sign-ups.
Concierge matching, on purpose.
Every match is reviewed by hand during early access. Slower than an algorithm, and that's the point - one bad match costs more than ten slow ones.
This is not my first matching problem.
FOUND was a recruitment platform. Two industry veterans, a blank page, and a market already crowded with competitors. We took it to Product-Market Fit on 50+ customer interviews and 30+ experiments, and almost none of that was writing code.
Start impossibly narrow.
FOUND won by serving one thin slice of the market properly before touching anything wider. This network is the same bet: Europe only, product only, fractional only. A board that serves everyone serves nobody.
Learn the problem before proposing a solution.
Those 50+ interviews came before the build, not after. Here, every brief is read by someone who has held the role. What a founder actually needs is rarely what the job title says.
Validate before you build.
FOUND tested demand without building the product. This network is hand-matched during early access for the same reason. Automate matching before you understand it and you only automate the mistakes.
The whole story, including what we got wrong: how FOUND reached Product-Market Fit.
The honest answers.
What does it cost?
How are fractional leaders vetted?
What roles does the network cover?
Which geographies do you cover?
How is this different from ProductTrio's Fractional Head of Product service?
How fast will I hear back?
Have a product leadership gap right now?
Send the brief. If the network has your match, you'll have a shortlist within a week. If it doesn't, you'll hear that too.
