I've recently received several emails from people looking for a technical cofounder for their startup. Do you have dollars to pay for development?

by Bernard Sury, cofounder of GuruWalk.

Hiring seems to be the preferred use of seed funds (by investors and founders), whereas I'd prefer a focus on customer acquisition. And that should be the focus of the founders -- to find the special fit that will make your company take off. The startup founder is definitely not ready to hire a CTO. They need to conserve cash.
by Oliver Wilkinson , founder of SSL247 and co-founder of jobiso.fr. I had proven online sales and marketing experience and would be responsible for webdevelopment, and he had all the industry contacts and was an established analyst. The difference between us is just action – I acted on my ideas, he didn’t.
