The Technical Co-Founder Podcast with Fexingo: Engineering Founders, CTOs, and Building from Code

Lucas and Luna sit down with engineering founders and CTOs who ship code, not slide decks. Each episode deconstructs how a technical leader chose their stack, scaled the engineering team, and balanced building against fundraising — from the first commit to the series A. Lucas presses for concrete metrics: deployment frequency, incident response times, burn rate per engineer. Luna challenges the guest on hiring philosophy, monorepo decisions, and when to rewrite vs. refactor. The show serves experienced software engineers considering a co-founder role, early-stage CTOs looking for war stories, and product-minded developers who want to understand the business side of code. No fluff, no motivational speeches — just the real trade-offs between shipping fast and building robust systems, told by the people who made the calls. You'll walk away with a mental model for choosing your first cloud provider, structuring a two-pizza team, or deciding whether to take outside funding at all.
