FDR is a member-led collective of senior DevRel practitioners, 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 network where peers magnify each other's work, and a directory clients can search to find you.
The FDR directory is launching soon, a searchable roster of senior DevRel practitioners you can hire fractionally and directly, with no agency markup and no commission. Tell us what you need and we'll notify you the moment it's live.
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.
A vetted directory, searchable by specialty, stack, language, region, and availability. Clients find the practitioner they need fast, and inbound goes directly to you, never through us.
Expand your existing DevRel network. Trade leads, refer overflow, co-deliver, and amplify each other's work, plus the context that's hard to get when you're solo.
Newer practitioners learn best practices and find mentors among senior members, so the bar keeps rising for everyone.
"FDR member" as a mark of quality. Clients increasingly know what fractional CFO and fractional CMO mean. We do the same for DevRel.
Founding members set the standard for everything that comes after. A 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 collective.
Client RFPs come through FDR. Founders see them first, matched by specialty.
Listing in the directory is free for everyone, for good. Any rates or fees for special services or tools get worked out by founding members. Always non-commission.
Founding-member spots roll out in waves. Tell us about your work.
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.
That's what FDR is for. Senior practitioners, matched to the work, for as long as the work lasts.
When the directory launches, browse practitioners by specialty, advocacy, docs, video, education, community, partner integrations, or conference programming, and reach out to whoever fits.
Every member is an experienced DevRel practitioner with a track record you'd recognise. No interns, no overflow capacity, no learning on your dime.
You engage the practitioner directly, on your terms. FDR takes no commission and inserts no agency layer between you and the work.
Can't wait for launch? Opt in and we share your details with every practitioner already signed up, so any interested DevRel can email you directly. No matching, no middleman.
Two lines and the kind of support you're after. We'll notify you the moment the directory launches.
