Investor & Partner Briefing

LaunchCRO™
The Investment Case

The trusted network connecting experienced revenue leaders with early and growth-stage companies at exactly the stage where they create the most value.

Recruiting is the first product. The network is the asset. The data is the moat.

The Opportunity

Two market failures.
One network.

Market Failure #1 — The Company

Early and growth-stage companies in crypto, AI, fintech, and payments need CRO-level commercial leadership but can't afford a $250K+ full-time hire. Founders carry sales, hire too early, miss the growth window.

A seasoned revenue leader for 3-12 months changes the trajectory of the company. No platform delivers this with reference-verified leaders and vertical depth.

Market Failure #2 — The Executive

Seasoned revenue leaders with decades of experience in these verticals have been aged out by traditional recruiters. They have extraordinary gifts. They want meaningful work on their terms.

LaunchCRO is their professional home — a verified network that actively places and celebrates them, at no cost to join. They pay only when we place them in a role they accept.

Business Model

Two audiences.
Two revenue streams. Zero complexity.

Company Revenue
$3,500
Engagement Fee

Paid upfront when search begins. Non-refundable.

10%
Platform Fee — Recurring

10% of executive monthly retainer, for the life of the engagement. On a $17,500 retainer = $1,750/month, recurring — durable revenue tied to a live relationship, not a one-time placement.

$20,000
Conversion Fee

If the company converts the executive to full-time; ends the recurring Platform Fee.

Executive Revenue
$0
To Apply, Verify, or Remain

No active engagementship fee. Free to join removes the single biggest barrier to building an elite bench.

$0
Executives Pay Nothing, Ever

No fee to apply, verify, be introduced, or accept — and no share of compensation. Executives keep 100% of what they negotiate. All revenue comes from the company side.

Why Free-to-Executive Wins

A frictionless, zero-cost promise attracts the strongest operators — who won’t pay to sit on a bench. The recurring company-side Platform Fee compounds with every active engagement, turning placements into durable recurring revenue.
Recurring revenue, elite supply.

The Moat

Why this gets harder to compete with
every single day.

Verified Executive Network

Takes years to build. Every executive independently verified by 5 references from 2+ companies. Cannot be faked or rushed. Exclusivity is the product.

Outcome Data

Every placement feeds outcome data back into the matching engine. After 200 placements, LaunchCRO knows things no human recruiter could know.

Executive Community

Private network of verified revenue leaders. Referrals, intel, and network effects compound as the network grows.

Vertical Brand Authority

Deep domain focus in crypto, AI, fintech, and payments creates category authority that generalist platforms can never claim.

Exit Strategy

$20-30M target.
3-5 year timeline.

Strategic acquirers aren't buying placement fees. They're buying the verified network, the proprietary matching data that compounds with every placement, and a revenue model aligned with both sides of the marketplace.
