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.

We have a number of startups (or pre-startups) that we are helping get launched. We are not “finders” and usually serve the role of advisor and attorney. Sometimes we draft business plans and coach the entrepreneurs on their pitch, and sometimes we even help develop a business model. What are you working on now?

There's an old adage in software development that I refer to all the time: The first 90% of development takes 90% of the time. The remaining 10%, takes the other 90% of the time. I used this when I taught software engineering. Pull the Plug Early - poor developers who exhibit symptoms of weak development will not become good.

Meredith came to see me along with the CTO Marc Berte. The more we dug the more confident we became (and so did every advisor we used). Marc Berte started helping her to perfect the materials and approach and the two together had a huge break-through that led Marc to decide to join Meredith in her journey. Were they ambitious?
