If you’re keen to become a CTO as soon as possible by applying for job openings, you might like to think about becoming a startup CTO.

Let me share with you Pros and Cons of being a CTO at a startup based on my personal experience:
Pros

Less barrier to entry

Coding is still part of day-to-day responsibilities (also a Cons)

Wear multiple hats, and be a part of decision making across many disciplines

Fast pace of change

If you have unlimited free talent, how would you design your organisation for your tech startup? #startup #scale #chieftechnologyofficer #cto #founder #techleadership #productmanagement
Whether I’ve got unlimited free talent or not, I’d first think about roadmap / goals before designing my org for a tech startup.
Before you say a roadmap is too low-level details, hear me out. The roadmap is the magic that transforms vision to action.

Ask yourself, what kind of work will need to be done in the next six months to eighteen months for the organization.

Today's question is on hiring and scaling a startup: Is it advisable for small companies or startups to hire a temporary consultant to build a team of developers and designers?

If you’re hiring for more than 5 people, I’d personally hire a CTO, CPO or find a co-founder with prior experience in building teams first, and then work with a recruitment agency.
Because hiring or filling headcounts is not the end goal, you’ll need to make sure the new people are onboarded properly, and they have a roadmap to work on.
