      <description>&lt;h1 id=&#34;startup-cto&#34;&gt;Startup CTO&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the 2019&amp;ndash;2025 I&amp;rsquo;ve maintained some notes on the process of starting &lt;a href=&#34;Segmed.ai&#34;&gt;https://www.segmed.ai&lt;/a&gt;
and developments/beliefs that either turned right, or the ones that were completely
wrong.
This was mostly to see how I&amp;rsquo;m doing on a tech/biz decision trajectory.
The more I looked at it, the more is started to sound like a story.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two YC friends picked my brain on some business things and how it could fruitfully
be converted into the technical aspects, and both said that there should be a book
about the CTOing..&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Non-Tech Founder Technology Guide</title>

      <description>&lt;h1 id=&#34;non-tech-founder-technology-guide&#34;&gt;Non-Tech Founder Technology Guide&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is a sister book to the CTO book.
The notes about non-tech communication that didn&amp;rsquo;t fit into my CTO book
will end up here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Story is that after pitching N VCs and talking hundreds of vendors, suppliers, hospital execs
it was becoming very clear that explaining complex technology to non-technical
audience will be CTO&amp;rsquo;s day-to-day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It also became apparent that work in modern teams is all about finding the
right balance of communication between technical and non-technical members.
Non-technical members need to be bought in into the tech decisions that may
take long time to materialize.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
