This is the most common question we hear from founders and heads of ops. The framework we use:
Hire in-house if you already have a senior technical lead in the building. Otherwise you're hiring three engineers into a leadership vacuum.
Bring in an external partner (like SLEM) when you need velocity now and don't want to burn 6 months on hiring. We often bridge the gap while your first great CTO hire ramps up.
