SoCal CTO
DECEMBER 10, 2012
It was like having a bunch of mini- Free Startup CTO Consulting Sessions all in one room. But what was interesting to me was that I found myself recommending that each of them should have a technical adviser. This is exactly the kind of thing I'm doing as a Part-Time CTO or Technical Advisor for startups.

I've had several Startup CTO Consulting sessions recently where it became apparent that the Founder needed help with the business and product as much or more than the technology. Then we discussed how they could go about finding this startup business advisor. Do you have any suggestions for how to find a good mentor?

I spent nearly a decade building software for large companies and then advising companies on the same. 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.

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.
