@DCDarkLegion 4 out of 5. No real offensive capabilities limit his impact in certain situations.

Ramping on for long term roles vs short term roles

I am a huge believer in creating a 90 day plan when starting a role. There are a lot of great references out there for how to do this. I have had great success using the first 3…https://t.co/H9tmp6qHaE https://t.co/3RJUEVvzHp

I am starting to interview with companies for my next opportunity.

In interviews, I have noticed three types of questions: technical/domain-related; style inquiries that focus on personality or management style; and "cultural fit".

The first type of q…https://t.co/Wa2MuJXtAa

In coversations with companies and with fCTOs about different stages where fCTOs can play a role, one stage stands out: "Zero to One". This is the stage when a founder has an idea and wants to turn it into something real, or they have a prototype of their…https://t.co/2Yt2YSh3cH

I find too many executives don't have full control of their budget.

When you work for a larger organization there are processes in place to ensure alignment to budget. This seems to be severely lacking at smaller organizations and especially start ups…https://t.co/bzZg20rKcr

I continue to be impressed by the breadth of ways fCTOs can help and support both growing and mature businesses.

I have always talked about creating a culture where the best idea or solution wins. The concept is that it shouldn't matter where the idea comes from, but the value of the idea/solution should be more important than who came up with it. Further, it's to…https://t.co/mVgLbI05b3

I love the work @Hbin1990 and the team at BrainCheck are doing to positively impact and assess cognitive health. If you know of a connection that could further this research please contact Bin.

Many startups think their biggest obstacle is money (especially incremental costs) when more often it's time that is hardest to come by. If you look at the overall run rate of the business (especially cash burn) you will see a much more accurate reflecti…https://t.co/gzec37UO2J

Last week I posted about my newly found interest in the role fCTOs (Fractional CTO) can play in supporting businesses. The response was overwhelming, so I am even more excited to learn more about this space.

Since that post I have had conversations with…https://t.co/9Eifjmdyut

[acstyxx @acstyxx]

I am going to start posting regularly on this topic. If you have an experience working with a Fractional CTO (or looking for one) I would love to hear from you and what worked well along with what did not work well.

[acstyxx @acstyxx]

I am intrigued by the idea of a Fractional CTO. I have advised several start ups and played a full time CTO role but a Fractional CTO is a powerful option for startups with inexperienced founding technical leaders or founders without a strong/mature technical counterpart. #CTO

[acstyxx @acstyxx]

For the Fractional CTOs I have spoken to so far, they all say that nearly all of thier work comes from word of mouth. Leaders I speak to say that would not have been able to find early levels of success with access to thier Fractional CTO support.

[acstyxx @acstyxx]

As such I am now on a mission to find as many Fractional CTOs as possible and connect them with startups looking for help or maybe even those who need the help and don't know it yet.

[acstyxx @acstyxx]

These are people with experience across lots of solutions and companies and can spread that experience at a fraction of the cost of a full time CTO.
