How "I can't find a good CTO and my business is suffering" Impacts Robotics
Robotics needs developers experienced in real-time control systems, computer vision algorithms, path planning, sensor fusion, and safety-critical software development In the Robotics & Automation sector, this problem manifests differently than in other industries, requiring specialized expertise and industry-specific solutions.
Business Impact
Revenue growth stalled at current level because we can't ship features fast enough. Competitors are outpacing us. Unable to close enterprise deals due to technical concerns. Burning $50K/month while searching.
Robotics & Automation Specific: Revenue loss, customer churn, competitive disadvantage
Team Impact
Engineers frustrated by lack of technical leadership. Best developers considering leaving. Team velocity decreasing month over month. No one to make final technical decisions.
Robotics & Automation teams face unique pressure and expertise requirements
Leadership Impact
Working 70-hour weeks trying to fill both CEO and CTO roles. Constant anxiety about technical decisions. Missing family time. Can't focus on sales and fundraising because buried in technical problems.
Critical for Robotics & Automation founders and technical leaders
