Questions, answered
What to know before you subscribe
Is this only for C-suite executives?
No. Fractional Pulse covers qualified fractional professionals across functions, from independent specialists and operators through directors, VPs, and C-suite leaders. It does not include generic gig or task-based freelance work.
What makes a role qualified?
It must be a genuine professional role with a fractional, interim, part-time, portfolio, or similarly flexible engagement. We verify the source and screen out generic gig-board noise.
Where does the compensation data come from?
From employer-posted ranges. Hourly, monthly, and annual compensation stays in its original unit, and market medians show the sample size.
Are funding signals companies that are definitely hiring?
No. A public funding filing is a reason to research a company, not proof of hiring intent. Fractional Pulse labels these as research signals and links to the source filing.
How often will I hear from you?
Once a week. Monday combines qualified opportunities, compensation, market news, and the strongest early company signals.
Is Fractional Pulse free?
Yes. The Monday briefing is free, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

A note from the founder
Finding your next engagement shouldn’t be a second job
If you work fractionally, finding the next engagement can be a full-time job. The useful signals are scattered across job boards, company news, public filings, and private networks.
I built Fractional Pulse to handle the searching and filtering for us. It helps me find potential customers for Subagent GTM, and I’m sharing it with you.
The goal is simple: less time sorting noise, so you have more time talking to companies and finding the next role.
