Are you struggling to hire a CTO?

Finding and hiring a CTO for an early-stage startup is an uphill battle. It's harder than finding investors.

High Remunerations

Being high in demand, CTOs can choose where they want to work and under which conditions. Enticing a rockstar CTO would either require big salaries or a huge chunk of equity.

Lack of shared vision

Is your startup idea compelling enough for the CTO to want to quit their cushy corporate? If your CTO doesn't share the same vision, they won't stick with you till the end.

Tech talent gap

Even if you’re willing to spend exceptional remuneration, the shortage of c-suite tech talent makes headhunting even more challenging.

Consequences of not having a CTO

The best startups worldwide are formed with a blend of domain knowledge and technology. As a non tech founder, you will need a tech expert on board to make technical decisions and augment the efforts of your core tech team.

Great founding teams understand the need for a dedicated tech guidance to help them walk far, walk fast, and lead the pack.
