As a mentor to many entrepreneurs and startups, here are my best recommendations for keeping the burn rate low, planning ahead and maintaining credibility with investors: Manage cash flow personally every day. For example, a software development startup raising $250,000 from angel investors better be able to operate on $25,000 per month.

We slowly realized that Microsoft’s value went far beyond his technical contributions, due to his connections with key software developers and relationships with hardware manufacturers who could make the PC revolution universal. For example, I grew up in IBM when Bill Gates was helping us deliver the first IBM PC.

Most often at the earliest point in the life of a startup, the dominant need is certainly to produce product to get something in the market, get funding, etc. What worries me a bit is how often I read that startups should hire a developer / hands-on lead developer. How are we going to manage the product roadmap?

Barry was a lead mentor there at Chapman University's Launch Labs, and we paired up. That funding was geared towards development of our product. So where are you now with the product and launch? Eli Aizenstat: We actually have 2 products. At that time we'll be launching our second product, an iMessage extension.

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. How are we going to manage the product roadmap? How will we find and interview developers? How do we motivate and manage developers?
