I''m spending more of my time recently working with non-technical startup founders who are having challenges with their software/web/mobile development teams. These are often the same things that cause a founder to reach out to me about helping their CTO, VP Engineering, tech team, off-shore development, etc. Walls quickly go up.

Almost every day I'm talking to early stage startup founders (see Free Startup CTO Consulting Sessions ) about what they plan to do. Many of these founders have talked with several developers or development firms about their plans. Are there specific metrics needed for future funding rounds or for operations?

Solving the Founder-Tech Gap that came out of some fun conversations that Bob and I have been having. Getting someone who’s fully employed somewhere else to work with you on a limited basis to help close the gap is hugely important for the non-technical founder. Bob Dorf just published a post Where are the Hackers? Connected Advisors?

I did a presentation this week at Coloft that looked at how Non-Technical Founders can go about getting their MVP built. There are a few cases where you somewhat need to see the system operating to have a sense of the value. And the back-end is something that a non-technical founder can manage. WordPress is pretty easy to hack.

Yesterday, I was talking to a startup founder about their MVP and they said something that finally got me to write this post: "I have a few investors interested but they want to see a product." The problem is that MVP means early adoption of product and its features, maybe even some who will pay.

They tend to know the operations side of a software business well enough to be the one overseeing deploys, crafting the infrastructure plans, and monitoring the health of the product. It’s especially rare to find individuals who are going to be strong in a) business, b) operations, c) sourcing/managing talent, d) development.
