Angel CTO
This business will not fail fortechnical reasons.
An Angel CTO backs your startup with experience, architecture, credibility and leadership at the stage where it matters most. Not with cash. Not with hours. With judgment.
What an Angel CTO brings
Survivability
Technical decisions that preserve runway, not burn it. The Theory of Constraints applied without sentiment: find the one thing blocking forward motion, and remove it.
Investability
An equity-holding technical co-founder in the cap table makes the venture fundable where it was not before. Aligned incentives, same destination, same risk.
Credibility
Three decades of battle scars. An ASX listing. Four patents. The pattern recognition that only comes from having been in survival mode before, and having come out the other side.

Brownfield CDK: I'm speaking at the Perth AWS User Group
Next Monday I'm talking about migrating a live, production app to AWS CDK, with the lights on the whole way. Battle scars, not whiteboards. Come say hello.
The name is doing its job
Putting a name to what I do is doing what a name should do. Next week I'll be at the AWS Summit in Sydney; if technical risk is what keeps you awake, let's get a coffee.
The quiet chats offline
Putting a name to it accelerated the conversations. The real value is not shouting online; it's the quiet chats offline. Next week, SouthStart.
