Building Your Startup’s Tech Foundation: A CTO’s Roadmap

In the early stages of a startup, building the right technical foundation can make or break future success. This session covers my experience as CTO from selecting a tech stack to assembling a strong team and applying scalable best practices.

• The Role of the CTO, More Than Just Technology: Strategic vs. tactical work, vision alignment, stakeholder communication
• Building the Foundation: MVP vs. scalability, tech stack, cloud infrastructure
• Structuring Your Team: Hiring, onboarding, distributed vs. in-office
• Processes & Best Practices: Agile, DevOps & CI/CD, quality and security
• Scaling Architecture: Monitoring, microservices vs. monolith, cost optimization
• Leadership & Culture: Communication, mentoring future leaders, tech debt
• Next-Stage Growth: Fundraising, investor relations, product-market fit

Whether you’re a current or aspiring CTO, founder, or engineer aiming for leadership, you’ll leave with a clear roadmap for structuring your startup’s technology.
