I’ve been having discussions with several people recently about the role of the CTO (Chief Technology Officer) in very early stage companies. In December 2007, I described how I commonly take on an Acting CTO Role in a Start-up. That’s why Roger Smith puts the focus of the CTO on programming for the earliest stage.

It was like having a bunch of mini- Free Startup CTO Consulting Sessions all in one room. This is exactly the kind of thing I'm doing as a Part-Time CTO or Technical Advisor for startups. CTO Founder - Do they really still need a technical advisor? I've talked about this before in Startup CTO or Developer.

Ways to Make Your MVP More Minimum We spent quite a bit of time talking about a complexity scale and the kinds of resources you can viably use at different levels of complexity. If you do not break it down into small pieces, its hard to make progress with part-time resources, freelancers, etc.

CTO Founder – Do they really still need a technical advisor? We’ve talked about this before in Startup CTO or Developer. Is this person a CTO or a developer? If you know of more resources on this topic, or want to talk about anything startup or tech related, we’d love to hear from you. And Maybe You Need Two!

Ask a few CTO type people. Or ask me Free Startup CTO Consulting Sessions. It was a mobile app, so he ideally would find someone who had experience with mobile development or someone who could pick up a mobile framework. They often can help a lot in navigating to expertise and to possible resources. Is it big data?

they need a developer more than they need a CTO. What happens when you have a really good developer is that a gap exists where you may not ask the right questions to specify the right system, consider appropriate 3rd party technologies, etc. Many are not interested in 3rd party technologies that can streamline development.
