Most founders don’t need a CTO. They need someone who actually ships the MVP.

Many early-stage founders spend months searching for a technical co-founder or CTO before even validating their idea.

But the real bottleneck usually isn’t leadership.
It’s execution.

A simple MVP that solves one real problem can be built in weeks, tested with users, and improved quickly.

Waiting for the “perfect team” often delays the only thing that matters — launching.

Curious what others think:

Did you build your MVP first… or wait for a technical co-founder?
