It’s not necessarily a red flag. Sometimes the founder/CEO is technical and decides to solo it with hired engineers until not having a real CTO is a flight risk, or until they’re too busy to be contributing code anymore, or both.
- matthewsinclair 2y agoThat is fair, assuming the CEO is technical, or technical _enough_. However, I see a lot of non-tech CEOs trying this on and in those cases, it is a red flag for me.
- p1esk 2y agoWith cofounders it’s fairly typical for one to be technical and the other business savvy.
