About me

About me


Hi 👋 My name is Daniel Jarjoura,​ a software engineer turned tech investment banker.

Engaging with developers has been the common thread in my career. I was trained as a developer, managed developers, educated developers, and helped developers start companies 🚀

After four years of advising founders and technology leaders of venture-backed startups on scaling product and engineering teams, doing due diligence and restructuring, I decided to move to investment banking.

I'm now a Managing Director at Avolta, a boutique European investment bank, where I advise CEOs of developer-first companies on M&A and growth fundraising operations.

Most of the content I used in my advisory role is now condensed into the Management for Software Engineers course below. If you're interested in working with me, drop me a note, and I will let you know if I can help: daniel @ unicorn-cto . com


📚 Management for Software Engineers Course

Management for Software Engineers is the course I wished I followed when I moved from engineer to manager. I've condensed into this program decades of research and best practices on what makes a great software engineering manager and made it practical, actionable, and adapted to your needs.

More than 100 CTOs and technology leaders have already followed this self-paced course. Check it out here.
