Course CTO Outsource 
Both Sides of the Table
APRIL 20, 2010
Because more technology people probably read startup blogs I’m guessing this post will come under more scrutiny. The terms “CTO&# and “VP Engineering&# have such stigmas associated with what they are that I’m sure some people will feel uncomfortable with the definitions I’ve put forward. But barely.

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.

When I talk with early-stage companies, often the discussion starts with them asking me about Hiring a CTO for Your Startup , or Finding a Technical Cofounder for Your Startup or How to Find Programmers for Your Startup. In many cases, during my Free Startup CTO Consulting Session with them, we discuss where they are in in the process.

I've done four Free CTO Consulting Sessions in the past month with startup founders who all had run into variations of the same problem.

Of course, I immediately gave him the whole spiel on Visible Networking and Steve was totally game to make our networking visible. I have about 11 years in the technology sector including roles doing market research, sales and product development. Of course, it's probably harder to find these folks. What keeps you up at night?

The Internet doesn't work right, and is broken, and without a CDN, you can't do what you need to do if you're the CTO of a large website. Instead, they outsource to an expert like Edegcast. Of course, since we're venture backed, we do have to consider our investors, as they're looking at some point for an exit.

When I first talked with TZ, it was pretty much me just working on the platform and I had outsourced the development to a firm. Our co-founder and CTO, Josh Fester and I met each other online and within a month he moved from St Louis to LA. How much has the product changed from where it was in 2012 and where it is today?
