The 96% Retention Framework

Most engineering teams lose 30-40% of their people each year. That’s not just expensive—it’s existential when you’re trying to scale.

At Blockdaemon, I kept 96% of our engineers while growing from 10 to 187 across 14 countries. Not because we paid more than everyone else. Not because we got lucky. Because we had a system.

What’s in the framework

This isn’t theory from someone who’s never done the job. It’s the specific system I used as CTO at a unicorn startup.

You’ll get:

• The early warning system that flags flight risks before they start interviewing elsewhere
• The retention math that shows you exactly where to invest (and where you’re wasting money)
• The manager framework that works even when you’re managing managers
• The compensation approach that keeps people without breaking your budget
• The mistakes that cost me engineers (so you don’t repeat them)
