SoCal CTO

AUGUST 4, 2011

Almost every day I'm talking to early stage startup founders (see Free Startup CTO Consulting Sessions ) about what they plan to do. But I've often been very surprised by one aspect of these conversations. Many of these founders have talked with several developers or development firms about their plans.

I just got an email asking about exactly this: I''m with a new company that needs some software built, but doesn''t need (or have the resources for) a large staff of software developers. Do not fall into the trap of Startups and a Common Misunderstanding in Agile Software Development. They will give you a quote.

Setting the Deadline or using the works “Just,” “Easy,” or “Everyone does this.” - It’s tough on a developer to explain why it takes work to get something to be built. Adding pressure to this conversation makes it tougher. I.e., they need a developer more than they need a CTO.

Equity-Only CTO and Equity-Only Developers Technology Roles in Startups Want to Know the Difference Between a CTO and a VP Engineering? Structure development contracts appropriately or directing the in-house team appropriately. The "Questions" post is probably the most important.

You’ve got a great idea and domain expertise, but limited money and insufficient technology resources. Should you co-found your company with a software development shop?

A business person may have equal or more valuable skills than a software person, but they are not universally understood in the simplistic way that software people’s skills are. Ask anybody what a software developer does and they can give you the one-sentence “makes software” answer.

If you want to build a business that requires software, be prepared to invest a little money. I recently met a junior software developer working for $200/week + room & board at a business geeks house. The business geek needed a working software prototype and the programmer needed experience. Act accordingly.

Do a curl (or your.NET equivalent) on each domain, and see how many are running a Windows server: I think you’ll find the fraction very small. This literally the dumbest, most ignorant piece that I’ve ever read about software development and/or hiring programmers. Look what happened to Gawker. Sjoerd Franken.
