Startup CTOs (NYC): How to Build Your Software Factory
ONLY for CTOs (and VPE's/Heads of Engineering) of venture backed startups with ~10 - 85 engineers.
Startup CTOs is an invite only community for venture backed VPEs/CTOs scaling from a team to an org. It is a Gather.dev community, curated by Peter Bell.
Join our community of Startup CTOs on Tuesday April 21st at 6:30pm in NoMad as we discuss how to build a software factory.
A handful of teams have built software factories where no human writes or reads the code. As Startup CTOs, our challenge is different: individual engineers are already productive, but the output is inconsistent. Different people, different prompts, different quality bars. Let's dig into how to build or scale shared factory infrastructure so your whole team ships at the level of your best engineer. Whether you're standardizing your first pipeline or still herding cats, this should be a great conversation.
Just this month, I'll be giving a short talk sharing the patterns I've seen for effectively building and scaling software factories.
After setting the context we’ll be breaking into groups of our closest peers to share our challenges and our wins and to come up with practical next steps for accelerating our software development processes.
Food and drink provided.
