It’s lonely at the top :) There really isn’t a playbook for being a CTO, but it can also be hard to admit that you don’t have all the answers. Business stakeholders often don’t understand the challenges you’re facing and your team expects you to lead them confidently.
As you start the process of scaling your team, you need to learn how to step back from coding, bring in managers and create consistent processes for hiring, onboarding and managing your team. This is where you create the foundation for the culture and experience of working in your engineering org, and it’s important to understand what processes and systems to prioritize to keep the team aligned, efficient and working on the highest value tasks.
At CTO Connection, we started out in the startup business and have a strong community of earlier stage startup CTOs as well as great communities of larger venture backed CTOs to help you when your startup scales.

WE ASK THAT EVERY COMMMUNITY MEMBER SHOW:
My name is Peter Bell. I ran engineering at General Assembly (an EdTech startup in NYC) along with a bunch of
other startups that didn't get quite so much traction :) After getting fired from GA, I wanted to become a
better engineering leader, and despite having co-founded the NY CTO School and being a member of the NY
CTO Club, I really wanted to build a better way for senior engineering leaders to share problems and get
answers.
In 2014, I organized the Inaugural New York CTO Summit where the CTOs of companies like MongoDB and
Warby Parker shared their experiences of building and managing fast growth engineering orgs. Since then I've
run 28 in-person and over 100 online summits, and it's clear from the 600+ presentations from senior
engineering leaders that there are "good practices" for building and managing a fast growth engineering team
- but they are not well distributed and often change frequently.
If you'd like access to monthly exclusive fireside chats, tutorials, benchmarks, case studies and playbooks on the hard parts of
building and managing a fast growth engineering org optimized for growth stage venture backed companies
and a safe, supportive, high trust, personally vetted community of other senior engineering leaders, join us on our
journey to identify, organize and distribute effective, "good practices" for engineering leadership.
We are focusing on quality over quantity, so if you're interested in joining the community, please do sign up
ASAP as we'll be pausing admissions frequently to make sure we can personally connect with and build a
strong relationship with all of our new members.
We're all busy, but this is a chance to build a high trust support network to help you navigate the challenges
of managing and scaling the impact of your org.
