The decisions that make or break startups
Bad tech choices compound. An experienced CTO prevents them — now you have one.
Architecture & Stack
Tech stack selection, system design, database choices, and API strategy — with real trade-offs for your stage and constraints, not generic advice.
Security & Compliance
SOC 2 readiness, GDPR compliance, auth patterns, and vulnerability reviews. Know your risk before investors or customers ask.
Hiring & Team Building
Interview scorecards, contractor vs. hire decisions, salary benchmarks, and org structure advice for your current growth stage.

Get a clear recommendation
Specific decisions with trade-offs, risks, and next steps — built for your stage, your constraints, your product. Not a blog post, a decision.
