CTO
AI CTO for startups
Technical decisions made early are expensive to undo later: the stack, the architecture, who builds the product and how. The AI CTO helps technical and non-technical founders alike make these calls with the trade-offs in plain sight.

Questions founders bring to the CTO
- Should we hire a CTO or outsource the MVP to an agency?
- Our prototype is held together with tape. Rewrite now or later?
- Build it ourselves or use an existing service?
- How do we hire our first engineers without a technical co-founder?
- How much tech debt is acceptable at our stage?

How the CTO works in a meeting
The CTO weighs every option by cost, speed and risk: what it takes to build, what it takes to maintain and what happens when you grow tenfold. Technical terms get explained, so the reasoning is clear even if you don't write code.
In the discussion, the CTO grounds product plans in engineering reality and works with the CISO whenever security and compliance are part of the question.
