Elite executives,
held in reserve.

The private network where fractional C-suite executives engage by retainer, draw against a pre-funded evergreen trust, and operate through AI-administered mandates. No invoices. No chasing payment. No equity.

How it works

The retainer model, rebuilt from the ground up.

01

Client Partners fund The Reserve

When a mandate is created, the Client Partner deposits an opening retainer into a trust account held by a licensed escrow custodian. Funds are never held in our operating accounts. The trust is established before the first hour is logged.

02

Principals log billable activity

Principals record hours inside the platform. Client Partners have a 48-hour window to review, approve early, or flag a dispute. If no action is taken, activity auto-approves. There is no invoice to send and no Net-30 waiting period.

03

Platform routes the draw

Upon approval, the platform routes the exact draw amount from the trust directly to the Principal's connected account. Mandate matching, compliance document generation, and draw monitoring are handled by our proprietary inference model.

04

The Reserve replenishes automatically

When the trust balance falls below the agreed threshold, the platform charges the Client Partner's payment method on file to restore the reserve. If replenishment fails, both parties are notified immediately and the mandate pauses pending resolution.

Pre-funded before the first hour is logged.

Every mandate on Fractional Reserve is structured around a pre-funded evergreen trust established before work begins. The Reserve is monitored in real time, replenished automatically when it hits the agreed threshold, and drawn against the moment billable activity is approved.

For Principals, this means one thing: you will be paid. Not when the client processes your invoice. Not when their CFO approves the wire. The moment your activity clears.

Trust accounts administered through a licensed escrow custodian. Custodian partnership pending legal finalization. All draws generate itemized transaction records for both parties.
