The most common ones I see and salute are CEO, CFO, and CTO. But here is another example of a role that everyone carries in a startup, so investors can’t imagine paying anyone uniquely to do that job. If your business is managing contracts and patents, it makes sense, but the CLO for most startups is LegalZoom on the Internet.

But here is another example of a role that everyone carries in a startup, so investors can’t imagine paying anyone uniquely to do that job. Assigning them the title of CIO seems like a bit of overkill, especially these days of serious “cloud” computing.

I’m being asked this by technologies, of course, but also from other, non-tech people like private investors, VCs, SEO experts, marketing guys, potential hires, partners, and any random guests that just happen to stop by and say hi to Jason (of course…). From the first day we started Docstoc people have been asking me “ why.Net ”?

That means skip the jargon and include explanations and examples. A CEO who has “been there and done that” is traction, especially if teamed with a financial lead (CIO) and a product lead (CTO). Of course, a real contract or purchase order from a big customer is even better. Set realistic objectives and milestones.
