SoCal CTO

JANUARY 26, 2010

I’ve been having discussions with several people recently about the role of the CTO (Chief Technology Officer) in very early stage companies. What are the biggest areas of technical risk? What technology research is required? What technologies will we use? What do we build in-house or outsource?

Finding, searching, and researching take time and even then you won’t know how great the service is. Your chores can be outsourced through Porter. The nuts and bolts of our tech company is that CMS in the middle, the connection engine. That’s the only thing that is outsourced. So, I have no tech support right now.

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.

What are the biggest areas of technical risk? What technology research is required? What technologies will we use? What do we build in-house or outsource? What do we need to do to make sure we can survive technical due diligence by investors and partners? How can we address this risk?
