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.

I did a presentation recently for a graduate class from The Founder Institute around getting online/mobile products out the door. I LOVED it because, the presenting part was over quickly and we got into specific issues that the founders had in terms of getting things built. Would you create contracts without an attorney?

- beyond the obvious 'more great engineers' who do I invite to the party and when - when do I need legal, when do I bring in complementary skill sets, how do I decide between employees vs contractors, which roles need to be core and what can be outsourced. These were certainly front and center yesterday for the primary presenter.

You often hear about people talking about how being with kids makes you present in the moment, and understand the things in life that are important to us. We wanted to bring together the babysitters and nannies in the community, and started working with them as contracts. Are your sitters W2 or contract employees?

You're judged by your ability to execute, not your ability to make a pitch or present something. My co-founder and CTO, Steven Corwin, is a graduate of UCLA's Electrical Engineering program, and built our program and lead the development of our technology platform. That's great training for the startup world.

I did a presentation this week at Coloft that looked at how Non-Technical Founders can go about getting their MVP built. If you are on the lower complexity end, the key is defining small chunks of work that can be done quickly by a developer. Structure development contracts appropriately or directing the in-house team appropriately.
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
