Had a great initial conversation with a prospect for a CTO in my startup. Great experience as a senior software engineer, worked for 2 companies in the industry I’m building. Both Claude and ChatGPt said that while he has great senior engineer experience. That doesn’t make it a CTO caliber bc of lack in other areas. Obviously no one has all the qualifications. While I’m confident he can build the product and be behind the products while I’m doing the CEO side, what “makes” a CTO for a startup? Thanks
