Building Your
Founding Technical
Team.
A hiring playbook for CTOs and founders making their first technical hires. Because the first five decisions determine more than the next fifty.
What's inside
- Why your first five hires matter more than the next fifty
- The mistake almost every founder makes — and the right lens instead
- What to actually screen for: ownership, adaptability, culture fit
- Red flags that show up before day one
- The framework: building, not just filling — trajectory, vision, speed
"Building a founding technical team isn't a hiring problem. It's a judgment problem, made under time pressure, with incomplete information, where the cost of getting it wrong compounds fast."
James Bergl · Managing Partner, Bluebird Talent
