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.

What you will convey in your conversations What protections you will place on those communications For example, you might decide that portions of your concept will be controlled more closely (a secret algorithm). Startups that come to me and ask me to sign an NDA in order to get Free Startup CTO Consulting really are missing it.

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 (CFO) and a product lead (CTO). File a provisional patent, register a trademark, and reserve your company domain names. Set realistic milestones and achieve some.

A good example of this, we can keep track of a supply chain. I was hired to head up strategy, marketing development, and product management. I got involved with talking to CTOs at large, Fortune 500 companies, introducing them to what this system could provide, and figuring out if they have this capability.
