SoCal CTO

OCTOBER 15, 2009

My clients are typically entrepreneurs who have other jobs and are looking for help to get their side projects going but don’t have the time or skill set to launch it themselves.

Very few entrepreneurs have the range of skills and experience to be the solution creator as well as business creator, or operational as well as sales leader. The reason is that good attributes apply equally well to “external” partners, as they do to internal partners, like a co-founder or CTO. All partners have compatible work styles.

CEO, VP Products and CTO must all be in the physical location. But in the early phases of your company you’re not likely to scale up the call center so until that time comes I’d have them at the home office. What about outsourcing? For me outsourcing in a pure startup is the kiss of death.
