I talk to roughly 2 or 3 new startups every week who need advice from an experienced CTO. Many of the founders of these companies are surprised to learn that I'm willing to review what they are doing (maybe an hour) and get on the phone for an hour with them and provide free advice. Of course, I provide part-time CTO services.

I’ve been having discussions with several people recently about the role of the CTO (Chief Technology Officer) in very early stage companies.

I had a recent email dialog with the founder of a company looking for a CTO for their startup. Did they really need a Startup CTO or Developer or both? And do I fit as a Part-Time CTO , Technology Advisor , CTO Founder , Acting CTO ? He had a partially built product.

We want to have startups we can get productive or generating revenue pretty quickly. I had a sales force when I was at SkyPipeline, selling telecom, networking, and broadband wireless products. It was really the same business, but with less capital. My CIO had been ex-CIO at Herbalife, and was an EVP of Software for Disney.

I told her that I believed America’s best asset – driven initially from software innovation mindset in the San Francisco Bay Area and media innovation driven from Los Angeles – was our willingness to accept failure.
