FDR is a member-led practice of senior DevRel specialists, advocates, content leads, educators, community ops, technical writers, available to dev-facing companies on a fractional basis. No agency middleman. No commission on your work. A vetted directory clients can search, and a peer network worth being part of.
Real, common situations:
These aren't full-time problems. They're real ones, and they deserve experienced operators, not interns, not founder weekends, not overflow capacity from engineering.
Fractional DevRel works. The talent exists. What's been missing is the practice.
Searchable by specialty, stack, language, region, and availability. Profiles you control. Inbound goes directly to you, never through us.
A space, Slack or Discord, TBD by the cohort, for trading leads, contract advice, rate cards, and the context that's hard to get when you're solo.
"FDR member" as a mark of quality. Clients increasingly know what fractional CFO and fractional CMO mean. We do the same for DevRel.
Office hours, AMAs, case-study swaps, and a real events presence under the FDR banner, so clients see us, together, in the wild.
The founding cohort sets the standard for everything that comes after. Small group, real say, real perks.
Marked on your directory profile in perpetuity. Signals seniority to every client who lands on FDR after you.
Governance, member fees, code of conduct, vetting criteria, founders decide together. This is your practice.
Client RFPs come through FDR. Founders see them first, matched by specialty.
While we build the platform. After Vol. 01, modest fees cover infrastructure, marketing, and shared events. Always non-commission.
Founding cohort spots roll out in waves. Tell us about your work; we'll reply within a week.
