Many thanks to the amazing ☁️ Mark Birch 🚀 for publishing my thoughts on "the startup CTOs journey". Whether you are a startup CTO or are a founder looking to hire one, hopefully it'll give you a little context about the long, but exciting road ahead from inception to IPO! Link in first comment.

Meet the authors: Andrius Sutas, Founder, Product Manager Andrius is one of the founders and CEO of AimBrain, acquired by the market leader in the space at that time.

See you in Tartu!

As an early startup employee or founder, how do you transition from a "doer" to a leader?

Plus how we’ve had to change our skill sets and adapt to this new growth stage. Cheers 🍻

Great sitting down with some sharp minds in the early stage startup space. We spoke about what the investment landscape looks for founders, how to stand out, and what founders can mentally do to prepare. Thanks to Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP (Benjamin Howe) and 9point8 Collective (Neal Ghosh) for putting it on! And thanks to the other panelists Christian Williams and Emily Leahy for their insights! Off to TechCrunch!

Where do I even start? This is THE most common question I get asked by startups and founders looking to launch an online business or product - and the answer may surprise you. Check out this clip with Hayley Luckadoo and the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/dP5dB_NG

Our Co-Founder, Shensi Ding, talked about her and Gil Feig's journey in building Merge with the team at First Round Capital! And we may be biased, but it's an extremely compelling read and offers lessons for any founders and startup leaders. Shensi walked through everything from how she and Gil identified the integration problem to why they decided to adopt a unified API approach to how they took Merge to market.
