CTO w/ 2 Prior Exits Looking for Potential Collaboration

Hey Hackers,

I am a twice funded + exited CTO looking to change the world with you. I am looking to join a team lacking technical direction, but who are overwhelmingly positive in all other areas.

Things I look for (but are not required):

  • Lean startup mentality
  • Prior founder experience + exits
  • Initial traction
  • Runway
  • Salary + Equity

What I bring to the table:

  • I built and sold my two prior platforms from the ground floor
  • I can build scalable apps that can handle millions of users (and I can prove it)
  • I know how to wrangle Front End, Back End, Databases, Deployment, Analytics, Observability, and Scaling
  • If our platform breaks at 2am, I will get up and fix it
  • If our platform breaks at 2am, we will know because I have built out an observability platform
  • We need content marketing? I can do that: https://medium.com/@spreadstreet
  • We need financial planning? I can also do that
  • I know how to hire and train if our platform starts to gain serious traction (have managed a team of 6+)

"If you can build platforms by yourself, why do you need me?"

After building two platforms, there is no scenario that beats a team of all-stars. Also, I know where my weakness lies, and know how to spot someone who is an all-star. I’m looking to partner with excellent people who have complementary skills.

Do you have a business that you need help scaling? Shoot me a note.

Do you want to start on a fresh idea and think we could work well together? Shoot me a note.

Hope to hear from you guys. IH for life.
