Look at the big picture first of development, finance, and marketing/sales.

Challenges I started by asking the founders in the room to tell me some of the challenges they have working with developers. Here are some of the issues that were mentioned: I just want the cost, timeline and impact. But my developers want to go into way too much detail. Don’t do this to a developer or they will hate you.

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. How will we address these without significant cost?
