Now, we''re looking at Southern California because there''s lots of talent in the area of design, and we also want to start targeting enterprises here who want to start sourcing products in Asia.

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. Who will do that?

The basic concept has to make some kind of sense given the technical, market and competitive environment, otherwise nothing else matters. Similarly, a crackerjack CTO might be in the mid six figures, but a kid performing inside sales may start at the opposite end of the spectrum. BUT good ideas are NOT hard to find.

At CallWave, Colin was CTO, Jason was CFO and I was in charge of product marketing and customer acquisition. Who do you view as your biggest competition? I think these personal traits are what reunited us; even more so than our vision for RingRevenue. We each also bring very different career experience and perspectives to the table.
