We're a FinTech startup (deposits, pre-paid card, mortgages, investments), based out of Toronto, and looking for a CTO. Would prefer local, but open to remote (prefer EST time zone and someone in Canada but open to everyone).

The company is 4 years in, and are on the verge of some really big things over the next few months. Currently we are 5 people with an outsourced development team that we need to replace. This would be the first hire in that process with the goal of growing the product development team to maybe 6 over the next year.

We just closed our SAFE round, and have enough runway for the next 18-months (assuming no revenue, but we make revenue that's growing YOY) - we are pretty lean. Have a VC lined up for a Series A later this year.

Our stack is Python/Django/React/AWS.

email me sam [at] aproductguy [dot] ca, and I'll send you a note with the complete job listing as soon as possible.

Thanks!

So we are an early stage startup. Lost our original dev team (1 bacnded + 1 front end) during the lockdowns (they are alive, we just had to let them go) but have recovered, and looking to hire a CTO. Problem is, none of us (founders and execs) know how to hire one. Any tips on how we can find and qualify prospects?

Trying to validate a Twitter audience tool that identifies influencers/potential customers/customers/people of interest for a specific topic.

The goal is to figure out if my algo delivers quality results, and what a good model for selling is (price per lead seems reasonable to me ATM).

Fill out the Google doc and I'll turn around a list of names/Twitter handles within 24 hours for free; I just ask that you let me know how good/bad the results are for you.

Thanks, HN.
