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. You should begin asking at networking events and people you know in the startup world. For me, I'd use LinkedIn.

Talk descriptions, speakers, workshops, evening events, Ignite, Office Hours…but we’re getting a little ahead of ourselves. We actively sought out great stories, not just big names, and we found people who had compelling experiences to present. But other than that, it’s all there. That’s no accident.

Every investor expects to see some traction, both before and after a funding event. A CEO who has “been there and done that” is traction, especially if teamed with a financial lead (CIO) and a product lead (CTO). File a provisional patent, register a trademark, and reserve your company domain names.

MAKE SURE to talk with your existing investors about how they feel about your burn rate, discuss with them early what the back-up plan may be and whether they think they’d be able to get support in the unlikely event that fund raising proves difficult. Never stop in the ink is dry on the contract and the money is in your bank account.

Some of them are probably still cursing my name, because - lets face it - PHP can be pretty painful. Almost every PHP-based website is burdened with ugly URLs that contain the name of the file that implements each page. Through my platform choices, I have forced many people to learn PHP and to work with it on a regular basis.

Each document has a from-language, to-language, and a name.

The system counts how many words are in each document.
