Is this just for investors?

An audit or due diligence process isn’t just for investors.

We’re often asked to audit a company by leadership, giving a third party point in time perspective on the technology team, architecture, process and more.

This gives a business an actionable report, with insight into areas to improve, building the efficiency of their team and output, and setting them up for success in future funding rounds.

What is a CTO?

A Chief Technology Officer (CTO) is an executive responsible for the overall technological direction of an organization.

They oversee the development and implementation of technology strategies that align with the company's business goals.

The CTO ensures that the company's technology infrastructure is robust, scalable, and secure, and they often lead innovation initiatives to keep the organization competitive.
‍
Their role involves not only technical expertise but also strategic planning, team leadership, and collaboration with other executive leaders to drive business growth through technology.
