You’re only a first-time CTO/CPO once, but that first time can be a daunting challenge for startup leaders. Without a blueprint or a guide, you’re in a tough spot to manage all the details of technology/product, develop the right culture, organize and motivate teams, hire and career path people, plus get a product out into the market. Startup CTO was written to help the first-time CTO/CPO navigate product development challenges and provide tactics and best practices for how you can grow a high-performing function.
Matt Blumberg and Shawn Nussbaum have decades of technology, product, and leadership experience from founding a company, scaling it, and exiting. They cover a wide range of topics from technical strategy, to proportional engineering, managing technical debt, due diligence in a sale process, creating a high-performance development culture, and more. The authors share how to collaborate effectively in the executive suite and with functional leaders throughout an organization. As an added bonus, Matt shares CEO-to-CEO advice on what a great CTO/CPO looks like, signs your CTO/CPO isn’t scaling, and how to engage with the CTO/CPO.
Startup CTO will help you pinpoint gaps or weaknesses, turn those into strengths, and help you scale yourself, the technology/product function, and your organization.
