Hi Deepak,
I met you at TreeHacks this year, where I was critical of your product. I saw your post looking for a CTO and I feel compelled to warn you against pursuing this idea, again. The lobby is a bad idea because:
1. The careers space is crowded
2. Your customers are not earning money and have a multitude of free alternatives
3. Your product is extremely expensive
4. Your product is a liability for the supply side (it is a risk for employees to advise outsiders about careers at their company)
5. You overvalue the time of the customer and undervalue the time of your business side users. Being the middleman in a low-volume business like this makes no sense.
You seem like a nice guy and I don't want to see you fail. This is a terrible idea. You don't have product market fit and your CTO is going to quickly burn through your capital. The people here seem optimistic but do you really think you're going to make your million off of these interviews? I advise you to pivot/restart as best you can.
If you still believe in the lobby, just put a phone number on the website and handle everything yourself until you're up to your eyeballs in customers.
Best of luck.
