You're only a first-time CTO/CPO once, but that first time can be a daunting challenge for startup leaders. Without a blueprint or a guide, you're in a tough spot to manage all the details of technology/product, develop the right culture, organize and motivate teams, hire and career path people, plus get a product out into the market. Startup CTO was written to help the first-time CTO/CPO navigate product development challenges and provide tactics and best practices for how you can grow a high-performing function.
Matt Blumberg and Shawn Nussbaum have decades of technology, product, and leadership experience from founding a company, scaling it, and exiting. They cover a wide range of topics from technical strategy, to proportional engineering, managing technical debt, due diligence in a sale process, creating a high-performance development culture, and more. The authors share how to collaborate effectively in the executive suite and with functional leaders throughout an organization. As an added bonus, Matt shares CEO-to-CEO advice on what a great CTO/CPO looks like, signs your CTO/CPO isn't scaling, and how to engage with the CTO/CPO.
Startup CTO will help you pinpoint gaps or weaknesses, turn those into strengths, and help you scale yourself, the technology/product function, and your organization.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
