Our story

At EVONA, our founders identified a common yet critical challenge – the ability to easily connect with the world’s top Fractional Executives. Whether for Advisory Boards, Board Chairs, or Fractional C-Suite roles, the process relied heavily on word of mouth or came with the steep costs of traditional head-hunters.

When they brought in Fractional Executives, the impact on their own business was transformative. The ability to leverage experienced leadership, without the long-term commitment, unlocked new levels of growth and strategic insight. They realized they weren’t alone—many companies, particularly start-ups, could benefit from this
approach.

With 75% of start-ups failing, the founders understood that the right expertise at the right time can be the difference between scaling successfully and closing shop. The solution wasn’t to avoid full-time hires but to learn from those who have already navigated similar challenges.

This realization led to the creation of FRACTION. Our mission is simple: connect companies with seasoned leaders to help them avoid costly missteps and accelerate growth.
