Several people have recently come to me to help them source and/or hire full-time CTOs for their startup having found me through my post that looks at: Startup CTO Salary and Equity Data. The first thing I do is suggest they explore if they really need to hire a full-time CTO for their startup and if so, what kind of CTO they need.

I asked some of the same questions I ask in my Free Startup CTO Consulting Sessions and then I get to a very common conversation: Me : Do you have specs? And in the case of defining mobile/web/software, there is even more variability in terms of form and format. Founder : Ummm. what do you mean? Don't stress over format.

Poor machine, screen, connection, chair. If your developers have a better machine, screen, internet connection, or chair at home than they do in the office, then there’s a problem. I.e., they need a developer more than they need a CTO. You also should never say something like, “We just need to add X.”

We had a pretty simple screen, and it had a circle, and it told you how many minutes you were active. HV: The I-Corps mentors are very experienced entrepreneurs and they will just tell you straight up what they think of your results. A lot of apps these days have so many features that it’s very confusing. It was really fast.
