You're a Great CTO. But Does Your Business Stage Match?
You might be a brilliant Founder CTO now leading a Series B company. Or a Scaleup CTO feeling constrained at a pre-seed startup. The problem isn't you. It's the mismatch between who you are and what the business needs right now.

Common Mismatches That Cause Burnout
These archetypes are powerful, but only when aligned with the right business stage. Here's where things go wrong:
Founder CTO at Scale-Up Stage
Your scrappy, hands-on approach that built the product now creates bottlenecks. You struggle to delegate and your code reviews block the team.
Scaleup CTO at Early Stage
Your process-oriented, governance-heavy approach feels like overkill. The team needs to move fast and break things, not fill out architecture review docs.
Shepherd CTO at Fast-Moving Startup
Your focus on stability, security, and sustainable practices slows the iteration speed needed to find product-market fit. Perfect becomes the enemy of done.
Maverick CTO at Stable Enterprise
Your innovation and risk-taking create unwanted disruption. The business needs reliable execution, not another platform rewrite using the latest tech.
Startup CTO at Hypergrowth Stage
Your team-building and culture skills can't keep pace with scaling demands. You need to manage managers, not mentor individual engineers.
Alchemist CTO at Greenfield Company
Your transformation expertise sits idle with no legacy systems to consolidate. You're solving problems that don't exist yet.
