​The Role of a CTO in Investor Attraction

​We’re excited to host Oleksandr Barabash, a multi-time CTO and startup co-founder who has successfully secured multi-million-dollar funding rounds by translating product vision into compelling, investor-ready stories.

​In his talk, Oleksandr will make the case for:

• ​Why it is a strategic imperative for CTOs to pitch alongside their CEOs

• ​How this critical partnership becomes a powerful tool for attracting and winning over investors

​With over 20 years in the tech industry, Oleksandr expertise is built on a strong technical foundation. His career began with hands-on roles spanning full-stack development, solutions architecture, and DevOps. This comprehensive, low-level understanding of the entire product lifecycle allows him to lead engineering teams with unmatched clarity and speak with authority to investors.

​As a multi-time CTO, Oleksandr knows how to translate technical vision into business value. He has successfully led engineering teams through a strategic acquisition and a period of hyper-growth, demonstrating a unique ability to align technology with investor expectations and long-term business goals.

​This will be a conversational session, with Oleksandr speaking for around 30 minutes before we open the floor for your questions and discussion.

​Bring your questions – we’d love to hear your thoughts!
