The future of the Internet is video. This is classic “Innovator’s Dilemma” market conditions. Another major hire was Ryan Lissack who joined as CTO. Needless to say I think Ryan is one of the most talented engineering leads in LA but I’d stack him against anybody in the Valley, too.

Uber , Zenefits , Tanium , Lending Club CEOs of companies with billion dollar market caps have been in the news – and not in a good way. This era was a “buyer’s market” – there were more good companies looking to get funded than there were VCs. If the founder was lucky, he got to stay as chairman or CTO. Board Control.

And anybody who follows this blog knows that I believe television disruption has already begun and it is more likely to resemble Internet content than streaming long-form content to our living rooms. But when you produce on Internet you can test your content in the same way that Silicon Valley firms test early versions of their software.

Correction: Last week's CTO position at Modcloth is actually a San Francisco opportunity, not Pittsburgh. ROBLOX ( www.roblox.com ) is a web/game startup in Silicon Valley that you have probably never heard of--unless you were an eight year old boy, in which case you're probably not qualified for this position.

In Silicon Valley many people treat the concept that “ideas are worthless, it’s all about execution” as gospel. Nothing evolves faster than markets. The fact that there’s no market for startup ideas suggests there’s no demand. This has always sounded illogical to me. Patent number 5771354.

When I first decided to start The Silicon Valley Product Group, I had just left eBay and had some very strong opinions about what makes great product teams, and great product cultures, and while there were more than a few important thinkers and leaders on these topics, one area that I felt was under-represented was the role of product management.

Here’s the rub: in consumer internet (and often enterprise), if your founding team doesn’t have the chops to get a prototype of your product out and in the hands of a blogger to test and write about, you might as well save yourself a lot of pain – you’re not going anywhere. Especially if you aren’t from around Silicon Valley.

Developer, engineer, CTO, or technical co-founder?
