Question 1

What is Rent C-Suite?

Accepted Answer

Rent C-Suite is a leadership-as-a-subscription™ service. We provide on-demand access to virtual executives for startups with less than $10M in revenue and when a full-time person is not necessary or affordable. If your startup growth is hindered due to gaps in specialized leadership and founders' bandwidth, our leaders will step in to get things done.

Question 2

Who is this for?

Accepted Answer

Our leadership-as-a-subscription service is tailored for startups with less than $10M in ARR, with a runway of at least 12 months. It's for founders who view time as a competitive advantage and don't want to waste any, who prefer proactive, real-time expert guidance to save time and funding, who want to stretch every dollar and delay additional capital raises to minimize dilution, and who need to improve valuation metrics so they can raise capital on favorable terms or achieve a quick exit.

Question 3

How does Rent C-Suite make it affordable for ALL startups to hire top-tier executives?

Accepted Answer

Rent C-Suite offers a cost-effective solution for early-stage startups, allowing them to access experienced executives and strategic guidance for as low as $48k a year ($4k per month). This approach helps startups avoid the risks associated with not having the right executive team in place, such as costly mistakes, missed opportunities, and slower growth. By tapping into top executive talent on demand, startups can mitigate these risks and benefit from informed decision-making, effective problem-solving, and efficient resource allocation, ultimately enabling them to breeze past $10M in ARR faster.

Question 4

How does Rent C-Suite mitigate the risk of a bad executive hire?

Accepted Answer

Rent C-Suite mitigates risk by using on-demand talent. If your executive is not a perfect fit, you can request a new one. However, if you're head over heels in love with the results and want to hire your executive full-time, we won't stand in the way! In recognition of the top talent we'll be losing, and the value we brought, a modest buyout fee of 15% of the first-year salary applies.

Question 5

What kind of executives can I hire through Rent C-Suite?

Accepted Answer

At Rent C-Suite, we offer the following types of on-demand virtual executives: Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Chief Product Officer (CPO), Chief Finance Officer (CFO), Chief Operating Officer (COO).

Our flexible plans allow you to scale up or down anytime, so you always have the right expertise to support your growth.

Question 6

What's the difference between Rent C-Suite vs. consulting firms?

Accepted Answer

Rent C-Suite executives, all of whom are US-based, have successfully led critical functions at multiple companies, including large, publicly-traded organizations and startups that have achieved scalability. Consulting firms often hire and train young MBAs with limited or no practical experience in operations or leadership. On the other hand, Rent C-Suite offers experienced executives who bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise.
