It’s true the some VCs have started writing so many checks that they resemble stock pickers but the majority of us still have less than 10 board seats at any time and tend to go pretty deep so the result is that we care deeply about where we commit our time. Meredith came to see me along with the CTO Marc Berte.

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 technology team disagrees on direction and wants resolutions. You’re sales person is getting blocked by the CTO who says she shouldn’t go above him but the CTO isn’t approving the deal. Yes, I know it’s my job as the CEO to be the coach for people and that’s fine. This was such a guy.

I started as a teenager, and I did babysitting, life guarding, and swim coaching. My co-founder Kasey� and I started a boutique agency at the end of our time in college, which was in Santa Barbara. We wanted to bring together the babysitters and nannies in the community, and started working with them as contracts.

I spent an hour on the phone working with Sam Rosen, the CEO of MakeSpace on a senior exec he is considering hiring. And I spoke with the CTO of another great company I used to be on the board of and enlisted his support in potentially being an advisor to one company. Finally, I think it’s worth meeting “mentors.”

I’ve worked with 30+ early-stage companies in all sorts of capacities (and spoken to many, many more), so I thought it might be worthwhile trying to classify the various ways that I’ve engaged in different technology roles in startups. It depends on the business, people, technologies, etc. Each situation is just a bit different.

Robin Richards: After selling Notification Technology to Blackboard, we kind of sat around and said--where is there a marketplace, that can do some good, really needs to be developed using technology, and where there is no major player involved. It looks like you bought an existing property as part of startup up the site?

It’s generally a good idea to go through each of these line items to try to better understand what’s involved, especially for the ones that are bigger or that don’t seem to line up with your understanding of complexity. I.e., they need a developer more than they need a CTO. I just want the cost, timeline and impact.

LB: Currently, we are about 75% and that’s really because in this phase we have developed what I think is the most critical aspect of our platform, which is the technology that allows us to truly build our community. You can be an entrepreneur and at the same time you can be a mentor or an investor to someone else’s project.
