Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

A wave of senior execs are ditching full-time work to become "fractional" leaders - part-time operators who embed in startups to solve specific problems. You can tap them to close enterprise deals when you have no sales leader and build financial models before you can afford a CFO. The real unlock though is that watching them do the job teaches you exactly what to look for when you finally hire full-time.
