LOOM connects scaling startups with senior fractional leaders — matched by AI, aligned by equity.
A full-time C-suite hire costs £150K+, takes six months, and adds permanent overhead you don't yet need.
Freelancers deliver output. They don't have skin in the game.
Your investors have operating partners. You don't. Not yet.
"The gap between investor support and founder reality is where startups stall."
Investors don't just fund ideas. They fund teams that can execute them. This is the gap that costs founders their round.
Average time to close a senior hire — time your runway can't afford
Skin in the game from your average freelance consultant
Senior leadership access has always been gated by cost, relationships, or luck. Loom removes the gate.
Agentic by Design. Human Where It Matters.
GenAI has collapsed the cost of building a company. More founders, fewer with the cross-functional depth to scale. Designed for this moment: pairing capability-incomplete founders with the senior operators who fill the gap, structurally and with skin in the game.
Start cash. Evolve to equity. Or hybrid from day one. Loom structures the engagement: contracts, terms, and equity mechanics, so you don't have to.
The most senior executives on Loom can form syndicates: small, vetted peer groups who take equity positions together. You get a coordinated leadership layer, not a single adviser.
Closing exactly the leadership gaps investors probe first, so funding stalls on traction, not on team.
LOOM replaces manual networking and fee-heavy recruiting. Select your requirements below to test our dynamic, equity-aligned match structures.
Target the specific VC-grade function and operating stage required.
AI scans pre-vetted fractional portfolios for active availability.
Lock contract terms and administrative mechanisms in hours.
Three sides of the marketplace. Click a column to open it.
Deploy structured, VC-grade financial planning to secure runway extension and prepare audit channels. Perfect for Seed to Series A transition modeling.
You didn't stall on the idea. You stalled on the team investors expect to see behind it.
Loom embeds the C-suite depth your fundraise needs — CFO-grade financial modelling, CMO-grade go-to-market clarity, CTO-grade technical credibility — without the £150K+ salary or the six-month search.
Every round stalls on the same questions: Who owns the model? Who owns the roadmap? Who owns the numbers? Loom places senior, equity-aligned leadership exactly where diligence looks hardest.
Equity-aligned engagement means senior leadership without the cash burn of a full-time hire — runway you can put toward product and traction instead.
From first match to signed engagement in days, not months — so leadership gaps get closed before they cost you a round, not after.
Standard runway to Series A readiness on Loom's accelerated model.
Full-time C-suite cost avoided per role, redirected to product and growth.
"Investors don't just fund ideas. They fund teams that can execute them."
Average fractional hires per UK startup in 2026 — up from 2 in 2022. The market has already moved.
Annual NI saving for UK startups replacing a senior full-time hire with a fractional arrangement, post-April 2025 employer NI changes.
The fractional executive market today — growing at 14% annually. Loom is entering early.
Every one of these shifts points the same direction: leadership gaps are the reason rounds stall — and the reason Loom exists.
Every platform in this space connects people. Loom institutionalises the relationship: vetting, contracts, equity mechanics, performance tracking, and syndicate governance — all in one place. The platform gets smarter with every engagement. The data advantage compounds.
LOOM is in pre-launch. A founding cohort of senior executives is being assembled now. Early-access startups will have first pick of the network.
