Oshri Cohen is an expert technologist with over 20 years of experience in growing and founding startups, and challenging the conventional wisdom of early CTO hires.
Many founders are advised to invest heavily in a CTO from the outset, often before securing their first paying customer. Oshri offers a fresh perspective on this approach, emphasizing the risks associated with premature hires.
Oshri is a CTO who knows more software and coding languages, frameworks, architectures and technologies than he cares to count. He is an ex-executive at multiple startups and ex-founder of his own custom development shop.
He is disrupting the popular thought that startups need a full-time CTO and could save on average $400K per year in direct technical leadership costs through the use of a Fractional-CTO, which is his primary business.
Oshri is also disrupting the technical recruiting business through the use of recruiters that are also engineers and can evaluate candidates on a deep technical level before recommending candidates to clients and only deal with fixed-cost mandates.
Apart from that, Oshri is also involved in what he calls a “Dev agency representation service” where he acts as a “lawyer” of sorts for companies who need to hire outsourced development agencies.
After 23 years in technology, Oshri has developed the ability to spot industry-spanning business problems a mile away.
Oshri has developed a reputation as a problem solver, leading many startups and Fortune 100 founders and CEOs to keep him around as their technical right-hand.
Oshri takes pride in providing impartial and unbiased advice and guidance, more than just your traditional consultant.
