A large part of this conversation is what kinds of advisors startups should be looking for. A little while ago, I suggested that Every Web/Mobile Startup Should Have a Technical Advisor.

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. I used an image from Roger Smith that describes the varying roles of a CTO as the company matures.

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.

Gabi is personal, cross-cultural, and ‘gab’ means, course, casual, endless way of talking. Of course we were thinking also on the expression “gift of the gab(i)” How long have you been working on Gabi? I was the CEO of aki-aki and Gabriel Palomino was the CTO. Of course not. Any mentors or VC’s?
