I'm going down the road with an entity and as I work to get financing in place, we have discussed me playing a role prior to deal execution. Thinking fractional CEO or business development or help with some tech integration. Does anyone have experience in this type of arrangement? I thank you in advance for sharing.

I was the fractional CEO / New CEO for 1 year before making the acquisition. Happy to hop on a call and talk about how we did it and how it went for me.

I'd recommend a CEO who open to sweat equity. That way it's easier to accumulate retained earnings.
