Several people have recently come to me to help them source and/or hire full-time CTOs for their startup having found me through my post that looks at: Startup CTO Salary and Equity Data.

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? They’re well aware of the conventional VC bias against funding companies which externally develop their technology, but they do have relevant skills.

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. Are there particular technologies or platforms involved? You will find firms that are design/interface heavy and light on development.
