CTO?
• The CTO is the Chief Technology Officer, and in a startup,
will likely be the technical co-founder
• The CTO establishes the vision and culture
• The CTO must be as technical as required to validate the
vision and the culture
• Beyond this, the CTO is (or should be) largely outward
facing — the CTO should understand the relationship
between the technology and the larger world
• As a company grows and expands, the CTO will be at a
crossroads: become the VP of Engineering and hire a CTO,
or remain the CTO and hire a VP of Engineering
