> CTO who should also be CPO

This is just awful, awful, awful advice. Please do not do this. Your technical leaders should think deeply about how to build a product, but not the product that is to be built. Asking them to do the latter is asking for absolute carnage.

When you’re smaller, the CPO doesn’t matter as much. Your business has an idea, your CEO and CTO knows what it should look like. Polish it later.
