Do the engineers understand what they are building? And the same is true in reverse - a lone brilliant coder can build a great widget, but it takes a system of people working well together to produce consistently great results.

A consulting CTO can help you find and qualify a permanent technology partner, a lead developer, a user experience expert or interaction designer, a graphic designer, or a VP of engineering. The best ones know enough about Internet marketing (and search engine optimization) that they’ll be visible if they are looking for new projects.

In another example, at GroupSpaces we use services from Recurly to power our subscription billing engine and Assistly to power our helpdesk, which helped us to get up and running within a day.

An Internet entrepreneur needs a website. Two years ago I got the bug to do an online recruiting startup and I began the hunt to find a technical co-founder - a software engineer who works for no cash - to help me build my dream website. Most software engineers arent business people. Not business people, software engineers.

Our development was a particularly complicated build requiring 5 developers, a systems architect, an html coder, a SQL specialist, 4 testers, 2 designers, a graphic designer, a project manager and a security specialist. Our team is 5 engineers, 2 QA and a project manager. It is often said that bootstrapping is cheap. Nice article.

But I remember I, I got on a call.
