Qualification

CO-CPO is right for you if…

01

Seed & early-stage startup

You don't have a CPO. The CEO handles product between meetings, nobody is really driving the roadmap. Tech keeps moving, but without direction.

02

Scale-up in hypergrowth

Your product team is growing but processes aren't keeping up. You feel you need to get structured before hiring a permanent CPO, and you don't want the wrong profile.

03

SMEs & mid-sized companies in transformation

You have an existing digital product, but the roadmap is driven by inertia or client requests. You're looking for product discipline without committing to a full-time permanent hire.

Hire a CPO or bring in a fractional CPO?

Not every company needs a full-time CPO, or has the means to hire one right away. A fractional CPO structures your product vision, sets your roadmap, and aligns your teams by working 1 to 3 days a week. It's the right format for an early-stage startup or a scale-up that wants to professionalize its product function without committing to a €95,000-a-year permanent hire.

When the need is long-term, hiring a permanent CPO takes over. Our firm supports you on both: we assess your context, define the right profile with a senior CPO from the collective, and present you with qualified candidates. And if you're still unsure about the role, check out our Chief Product Officer job guide to get clear on missions, salary, and career path before launching a search.

FAQ

How do you hire a CPO?+

Two options depending on your need. For a permanent need, we support you in hiring a permanent CPO: defining the profile with a senior CPO, qualifying candidates, and following up until the end of the probation period. To get structured quickly without hiring, a fractional CPO can step in within a few days. A first 30-minute conversation helps determine the right format.

How much does a fractional CPO cost?+

The cost of a fractional CPO depends on the number of days per week (usually 1 to 3) and the profile involved. It's significantly more accessible than a permanent CPO, whose package ranges between €73,000 and €150,000 gross per year in 2026. We share a detailed proposal after a first conversation.

What is a CO-CPO, and how is it different from a regular CPO?+

A CO-CPO is an outsourced Chief Product Officer who works with your company on a fractional basis or for a defined mission. Unlike a permanent CPO, they're available immediately, with no hiring process, and let you test the fit before any long-term commitment. They bring the same expertise as a senior CPO, but with the flexibility of a service provider.

When should you bring in a CO-CPO?+

When you don't have a CPO and product leadership falls to the CEO or CTO by default. When your roadmap is chaotic or contested. When tech and business teams no longer align. Or when you want to hire a CPO but need to ensure continuity in the meantime.

How long does a CO-CPO mission last?+

A product audit runs over 2 weeks. A fractional support mission typically starts with a 3-month commitment, renewable based on your needs. We don't impose a minimum duration: we adapt to your context.

What's the difference between a CO-CPO and a CO-CTO?+

The CO-CTO focuses on technical leadership: architecture, technical debt, managing development teams. The CO-CPO focuses on product: vision, roadmap, value-based prioritization, alignment with the business. In many startups, the two roles complement each other, and we can actually offer you both.

What are your rates?+

Our rates depend on the format you choose (audit, fractional, recruitment) and the profile involved. We share a detailed proposal after a first 30-minute conversation. No surprises: everything is transparent from the start.
