TechKeeper’s Guide #65 – Challenges scale-up CTOs face explained by 5 tech executives

"There’s no consensus in my circles when the transition happens, yet you can ask the CEO to keep you posted about planned fundraising talks.

Still, because the founding board might go through dozens of unsuccessful talks, I believe the leap from startup to scale-up can happen abruptly overnight.

From my experience, It’s around the time the management expects the product to earn real money."

That's why for today's featured material we chose the text by The Software House's CTO – Marek Gajda, who wrote about the challenges CTOs face with their scale-ups. 📊

Besides that, in the newest issue, we highly recommend articles on creating psychological safety at work, new vulnerabilities in the tech world and DevOps mistakes that you can avoid.

Enjoy the content and keep on leading! ✊
