**Katie Murphy**

Katie is the Founder & CEO and a former fractional executive herself. She spent 8 years doing this work before building Knex, because she wished a platform like this had existed when she was doing it. Chasing contracts, chasing payments, figuring out pricing alone. She built Knex so that would not have to be everyone's story.

## FAQs

**What type of SaaS expertise is available on Knex?**  
Knex offers fractional executives and advisors across every SaaS function — revenue operations, product-led growth, customer success, demand generation, sales leadership, and more. All talent has direct experience scaling B2B SaaS companies.

**Can I find someone who has scaled a SaaS company to my stage?**  
Yes. Knex talent profiles include detailed stage experience — from pre-revenue to $50M+ ARR. You can filter and match based on the exact growth stage your company is in.

**How quickly can a fractional leader impact my SaaS metrics?**  
Most fractional leaders hit the ground running within the first two weeks. They bring frameworks and playbooks from previous SaaS companies, so the ramp-up time is dramatically shorter than a full-time hire.

**What if I need help with both product and go-to-market?**  
You can engage multiple fractional leaders simultaneously. Many SaaS companies on Knex work with a fractional CRO and a product advisor at the same time to align GTM with product roadmap.

**How does pricing work for SaaS companies?**  
Matching and initial consultations are always free. Equity advisor engagements start at a $499 activation fee. Cash engagements are priced transparently on each expert's profile with a 10% platform fee. 30-day sprints and month-to-month options keep things flexible for SaaS budgets.

**Can I hire a fractional executive full-time later?**  
Absolutely. If a fractional leader is the right long-term fit, you can convert them to full-time at any point during the engagement for a recruitment fee of 25% of annual salary.
