The problem is you don't yet have product/market fit, and until you do, you don't really know what to build. When product vision is truly clear, then it makes sense to execute it, and hiring follows. These companies are very early-stage and definitely have not shown product/market fit. They need to determine product/market fit.

I did a presentation recently for a graduate class from The Founder Institute around getting online/mobile products out the door. Third party products are used appropriately. Structure development contracts appropriately or directing the in-house team appropriately. Would you create contracts without an attorney?

Most often at the earliest point in the life of a startup, the dominant need is certainly to produce product to get something in the market, get funding, etc. What worries me a bit is how often I read that startups should hire a developer / hands-on lead developer. How can I control costs but effectively get stuff developed?

Steve Gilison worked as a market researcher and product manager at a startup where my company, TechEmpower , did the software / web development. I have about 11 years in the technology sector including roles doing market research, sales and product development. My focus has been marketing strategy and product development.

- beyond the obvious 'more great engineers' who do I invite to the party and when - when do I need legal, when do I bring in complementary skill sets, how do I decide between employees vs contractors, which roles need to be core and what can be outsourced. What is 'good enough'? when should I open the doors and let people in?

But, over the last ten years, consumers behavior has changed so drastically. People are all now using their mobile devices to find products and services. To their credit, they were able to carve out an investment so we could develop this. So, that's my story. That said, I'm a veteran technology guy here in SoCal.
