Finding a Technical Co-Founder
Created 9 years ago in Business / Getting Started

As a CTO of a venture backed startup, I'm constantly bombarded by people who want me to join the company they're starting as a technical co-founder. Some do it well, some don't. I'll show you how to attract top development talent, engage them in a way that gets responses, and ultimately convert them to your partner in your new venture.

I'm a former CTO, engineer, & cloud consultant, now helping companies transition to the digital economy at Stripe. I don't have much free time, but if I'm available, I'm happy to help advise others on how to start an internet company, build an engineering team, or how to architect software.

Source: Clarity Alexandra Weiner Feb 19, 2016Clear and informative. Simply a friendly voice that can shrink down your thinking time and get you "doing" and testing.... and above all else out the door!
Source: Clarity Andrew Cashion Feb 15, 2016The time I spent this week with Miles is already proving valuable to my startup. In just 30 minutes, I got great pointers on: social media strategy, content marketing, partner outreach. Highly recommend.
Source: Clarity Matthew Bleistern Feb 14, 2016Miles has real experience and knows how to apply it to different business models. Plus! He is really patient and cool.
Source: Clarity Laura Blackaller Feb 12, 2016Miles is very knowledgeable in startup MVP development. He has a very good technology sense and a deep understanding of how human factors play in the development of software that people will actually use. Miles is also very knowledge in the qualities that make up a good CTO vs. a lead developer and provided a clear insight into both. I enjoyed Miles foresight in the restaurant space. I highly recommend Miles.
Source: Clarity Serge Amouzou Jan 31, 2016Miles is one of the more energetic security analysts in the SOC. With a no-holds-barred get-the-job-done kind of attitude, his drive was very refreshing. Miles was also very eager to learn new things and not afraid to take on challenges from the edge of the envelope. His network understanding was head-and-shoulders above other people so he quickly became the go-to guy. I think Miles is a valuable network security resource and one that I would want on my side. I recommend Miles' information assurance work wholeheardetly.
