Startup CTO & Developers: Job Skills and Requirements | Fundable Startups

Startups hunger for great technical talent. But what does it take to lead the technology within a startup? Is it just about your skill as an engineer? How does a non-technical person evaluate a potential CTO or technical co-founder? How important are an engineering leader’s soft skills? How does a startup avoid the trap of building great technology that ends up hindering the company’s success? Many startups ignore these crucial issues and suffer for it. This video is a short snippet of a 40-minute free class from Fundable Startups. Shawn Flynn, host of The Silicon Valley Podcast, speaks with Sam Wong on what it takes to be a great startup CTO. Sam is a veteran of five startups (1x CEO, 1x CTO, 3x TechVP) with three exits. Sam wrote a book on startup execution. Sam also built a library of startup training classes.
