Does Your Business Need a CTO‪?‬ The WorkSmart Podcast With Morgan DeBaun

    • Entrepreneurship

In this episode of the WorkSmart Podcast, Morgan sits down with her business partner and co-founder, Jeff Nelson. Growing up in the 90s on the south side of Chicago as the youngest of 9 kids, an interest in computers and technology was certainly not the norm for Jeff. At an early age, Jeff began building computers and diving head-first into technology, which led him to graduate with a computer science degree from WashU in St. Louis. Now, as one of the co-founders of Blavity and the company’s ‘Relatable’ CTO, Jeff shares his advice for founders on how to approach building the technical infrastructure or a product for your business. We also answer the important question: does your new business really need a CTO or not?
