I’m Katie Murphy, Founder & CEO of Knex. We help founders get the right expertise at the right time — from idea to scale.
After nearly a decade as a fractional exec, I saw the same painful pattern everywhere: founders taking big risks on the wrong hire and losing runway, momentum, and culture when it didn’t work out. Knex exists to eliminate that risk.
We match startups with vetted advisors, consultants, fractional leaders, and temp-to-perm operators in days. Equity or cash. 30-day sprint or month-to-month. FAST standards or full-service contracting. And we handle all the ops — vetting, onboarding, payments, and compliance — so founders can stay focused on building.
It’s not a marketplace. It’s trusted infrastructure for startup expertise.
A model that removes hiring risk, accelerates time to traction, and gives founders access to the leadership they need long before they can afford a full-time exec.
We’ve supported companies like Vivy, GigEasy, Healtnotes.AI, Care247 and we’re backed by Platform Venture Studio. Knex is scaling fast inside startup ecosystems where trust and speed matter most.
