June 3, 2019 CTO as a service idea

What do you think about 'CTO as a service' model?
It seems to be a win-win for startups.

    I have heard the idea a lot and it sounds attractive for both sides. But startups are told to be scrappy at the start when they most need a good CTO.

    Also the blog doesn't load and the site is slow. I tried using https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fda-14.com but it crashed.

    I think "CTO as a service" is just different wording for a "tech consultant". I think there is a huge need for that for non-technical founders but at the end of the day it will all comes down to price and assurance that a "CTO" will deliver a decent enough quality of technology. I also believe that outsourcing development is the right way to go for products where technology isn't their core promise and path to disaster (with very few exceptions) for those where it is.

    I think you meant to attach this page? https://da-14.com/blog/cto-service-role-responsibilities-startups. I might of missed it on the article, but at what price point are you offering this service? Seems like a really great idea!!

      Yes, thank you. I've already changed the link in the initial post) We don’t offer this kind of services yet. Just explore new opportunities.
