		elwatto on Dec 8, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Evolution of my role as a founder CTO Agreed on having the flexibility. I think that's the key, the self awareness and ability to adapt. I don't think having CEO/CTO/CMO for founders is a bad idea though. Even at Cloudflare, CEO and COO were co-founders. I am more curious about what it takes to grow from a founder CTO to a public company CTO, same way than other founder roles can. Or maybe it's just too hard. Anyway, I am flexible John! Totally onboard to give up my title if you are interested to come over and help us RevenueCat go public ;)

Except that wasn't true... Matthew had the title CEO (because someone needed to be CEO) but Michelle's title was "Head of User Experience".
