SoCal CTO
DECEMBER 10, 2012
I did a presentation recently for a graduate class from The Founder Institute around getting online/mobile products out the door. But what was interesting to me was that I found myself recommending that each of them should have a technical adviser. Third party products are used appropriately. Review the code being built.

Most often I'm being brought in the early stage, Start-up or Expansion (as the company looks at new product lines). Basically, the role is to support both the business strategy and technical strategy. Roger Smith ) This helps explain where I normally play. During Stabilization, often the focus is transitioning to a full-time CTO.

I’ve worked with 30+ early-stage companies in all sorts of capacities (and spoken to many, many more), so I thought it might be worthwhile trying to classify the various ways that I’ve engaged in different technology roles in startups. It depends on the business, people, technologies, etc. Each situation is just a bit different.

We’ve heard this from startup founders, product managers, development team leads, CTOs, and others who see their product gaining traction, but simultaneously see performance falling off a cliff. User experience is suffering and it’s the worst possible time with the product taking off. So, why does this happen?

Many of the entrepreneurs I advise or invest with spend considerable time on the Internet, keeping up with technology, customers, and competitors, but very few feel the need for an early personal presence. In fact, some totally avoid it, assuming their product or solution will speak for itself later.

I checked with our Director of Delight and she assured me we gave a full refund to both and that we formally responded to this within the required time, but the BBB website had a technical issue. Please advise.
