Competition CTO Organization Outsource

I’ve been having discussions with several people recently about the role of the CTO (Chief Technology Officer) in very early stage companies. In December 2007, I described how I commonly take on an Acting CTO Role in a Start-up. That’s why Roger Smith puts the focus of the CTO on programming for the earliest stage.

A few people have asked me to try and define the perfect startup organization chart. Because more technology people probably read startup blogs I’m guessing this post will come under more scrutiny. Some CTO’s swear that it is a huge improvement in development timeframes and doesn’t cause performance issues.

The conversations bleed into the sales messages the next time, they wend their way into software designs and form the plan of attach against competition. CEO, VP Products and CTO must all be in the physical location. What about outsourcing? For me outsourcing in a pure startup is the kiss of death. What about offshoring?

That''s relevant, because of our third piece, where we have been hired by traditional media companies, to basically provide them a turnkey, outsources content acquisition team. Is there a lot of competition for the rights to all of that content? Lee Essner: That''s one of the competitive edges we have.

I seem to encounter a lot of people who want to attach a CTO label to me as I'm the only programmer on the founding team of three. While I do fill that role at the moment, I'm a little hesitant to refer to myself as a CTO as we still haven't launched a product, acquired a single user, or turned or a penny in profit.

There is no competition. Recently I cleaned out and organized our basement. m the f%*kin’ boss.”. Example: Netflix).
