I've had several Startup CTO Consulting sessions recently where it became apparent that the Founder needed help with the business and product as much or more than the technology. Then I got an email that asked: I'm leading the marketing efforts for an early-stage startup. For me, I'd use LinkedIn.

This is true for early stage funding as well as venture capital funding. Rather, give titles such as VP of Engineering, Product/Technology, Sales, Marketing, Finance, etc. You shouldn’t hire a senior executive from an established company for an early stage startup. Early Stage.

When you're getting started, sweat equity is often a critical component of your negotiating leverage with co-founders, early stage employees and others who aren't paid market wages to help you grow your business. Sweat equity is just one component of early-stage valuation. In fact, it could be worth much more.

Java is a great language for enterprises and is commonly used by many big dotcoms, banks and airlines, but its relatively slow development pace and higher barrier to entry make it inappropriate for most early-stage businesses. PHP is a widely-used Open Source web scripting language.

A Phone Call After I left MIPS Computers I was in New York tagging along with a friend (a computer architect whose products at Apple a decade later would change the shape of personal computing) who was consulting for a voice recognition startup.

I’ve talked with a number of software development shops who are eager to get into the business of cofounding companies, i.e., getting product revenue and equity instead of just consulting revenue. Vlad and his team at DarwinApps are considering launching DevFund — their attempt at cofounding companies by developing the MVP technology.

It's very hard for PLG to be the only or main motion with infrastructure products because it's not something one engineer will just test and buy. Obviously if you target enterprise customers, you usually have a very large ACV (Annual Contract Value) and the product usually is complex. That is a natural hurdle for PLG motion.

One of the things I do as a founder of a later stage startup is to meet with early stage entrepreneurs to help them get their companies going.

You need a Co-Founder, not an Engineering Bitch. Lots of business-y, idea-type people who say they’re looking for a co-founder are, in reality, looking for what is best described as an “engineering bitch.&# Experienced, talented software engineers have lots of options in life, and most of them involve getting paid.
