Frequently Asked Questions

What is TalentFund?

Talent Marketplace for Responsible Growth.

We offer an alternative vision to traditional hiring practices by enabling companies to seamlessly incorporate fractional/part-time talent within their hiring roadmaps.

With the extension to fractional-to-full-time talent marketplace for hiring execution.

What companies can join TalentFund?

We work with Angel & VC-backed startups from Pre-seed to IPO.

What talent can join TalentFund?

Fractional Work is when talent works for multiple companies, either as a side gig, during a transition between roles, or by choosing this type of work permanently. While some talent is solely interested in staying fractional, many are open to converting to full-time after the initial successful collaboration.

While we welcome all top engineering, product and marketing talent, we generally prefer candidates with at least 3-4 years of experience and a track record of working at top tech companies that utilize the best agile and product development processes.

How does talent vetting work?

Our foundation is built on years of experience in technical recruiting and talent matching. We can match your startup with top talent that we already know and have worked with over the years, helping them advance their careers. For new candidates, we thoroughly vet them for their technical skills, experience, communication abilities, and work attitude.

Our vetting process for TalentFund Executives/CxOs, Team Leads and Builders includes a video interview, an assessment of their skills and expertise, a review of their past projects and portfolio, and an identity check.

How is the compensation model structured?

The Headcount Planning Tool is completely FREE to use.

For hiring through TalentFund, we deploy a tiered pricing model tailored to make the transition from initial contracts to full-time the most cost-effective for startups.

What methods of payment do you accept?

To minimize fees for startups, we utilize Plooto for payment processing, which debits your bank account and securely stores all banking information.

Alternatively, we can enable Stripe, but we would need to charge an additional 2.9% per transaction.

What's the difference between TalentFund and IT Agencies?

The main difference lies in talent quality and cost.

IT agencies and product studios use the same fractional talent model as TalentFund but deploy their internal staff fractionally or as needed across clients, with a 20-40% commission on billable hours and limited options to convert to full-time if the project is successful.

At TalentFund, our focus is on fractional talent and teams at a 10% commission on billable hours. With Fractional Contracts, we handle the back office, including contracts and payments but we're not the employer on the record. While some talent prefers staying fractional, many are open to converting to full-time after the initial successful collaboration. We also execute on Direct Full-time roles.
