Manage episode 428202394 series 3464006
Ever wondered what it truly takes to scale a startup beyond just having a great product? Join us as we sit down with tech veteran Oshri Cohen, who's been in the trenches for 25 years, to uncover the secret ingredient – people. In "Scaling With People," Oshri shares his wisdom on why selecting a technical co-founder is about more than just coding prowess. He delves into the crucial traits of business acumen and versatility across functions like marketing, sales, and customer service. We also break down the evolving role of a CTO through a startup's lifecycle, where the shift from coder to visionary leader is often fraught with challenges.
In the chapters "Building an Effective Startup Team" and "Empowering Your Startup Team," Oshri takes us through the strategic balance of generalists and specialists to maximize team performance. Learn how expert consultants can elevate your team's capabilities without breaking the bank. Plus, discover the pivotal role of the founder in creating a productive work environment, and why autonomy can trump over-management. Finally, Oshri emphasizes the true role of a CTO — not as a decision-maker, but as a facilitator who removes obstacles and fosters open dialogue, thereby empowering the team. Tune in for actionable insights on trust, collaboration, and leadership that can transform your startup's trajectory.
