Summary
Taylor Crane is a founder-first product leader and operator with 11 years of experience launching and scaling consumer and B2B products from 0-1 to acquisition. Based in New York, he built Clubs Poker to 100,000 users and millions of hands played before its 2023 exit, and now runs Fractional Jobs to connect senior fractional execs with startups and SMBs. He also advises and leads product for early-stage teams through Onederful, helping with strategy, GTM, hiring, and analytics across multiple concurrent engagements. Taylor blends hands-on engineering experience (shipping apps like Outro and Hyperlax) with product leadership at companies like Hello Alfred and Originate, making him comfortable across design, data, and execution. Known for moving quickly from idea to measurable growth, he often operates as a temporary head of product or fractional exec to de-risk early product decisions. His background in entrepreneurship and marketing gives him a customer-first lens that drives pragmatic roadmaps and hire-for-scale thinking.
