The Genesis of the Startup CTO's Handbook

The author wrote the Startup CTO's Handbook after spending nearly a decade as a startup CTO, where they gathered valuable insights and practical knowledge about engineering leadership. Observing the lack of accessible resources that discussed the ethos and processes necessary for effective engineering management, they felt compelled to distill their experiences into a structured format. The book serves as a compilation of wisdom from their own journey and the collaborative input of exceptional leaders they worked with. Ultimately, it reflects the need for a tangible guide that addresses the unique challenges that CTOs face in navigating both technical and managerial landscapes.
