It’s one of the most common problems facing entrepreneurs today.  Supply and demand teaches us that quality CTO’s are hard to come by.

Jon Gosier, head of product, COO and co-founder at metaLayer shares his process for finding the right technical co-founder.  One key element, according to Gosier, is to establish a well-rooted working relationship prior to making any commitment.  Gosier also touches upon what his company looks for when hiring good designers as well as how to retain top technical talent.
