Why this pricing model works

Most mid-market companies face two bad options:

Recruiters

  • 30–35% of salary
  • 6–9 months
  • High mis-hire risk
  • Poor understanding of operator fit

Marketplaces

  • Spam
  • Unvetted talent
  • Low signal
  • Lots of wasted time

Elevate is different — speed, clarity, and vetted leadership for a flat fee.

Governance visibility

A governance view helps teams keep alignment and oversight visible as fractional leadership ramps.

Optional Operator Engagement Support

Fractional Leadership Onboarding Support

$1,500 – $3,500 (one-time)

Includes 30/60/90 planning, org alignment, KPIs, and GTM clarity.

Quarterly Operator Performance Review

$1,000 / quarter

Ensures alignment, progress tracking, and fast course corrections.

(Most companies simply use the $500 match and begin their engagement.)
