Yes but there is only so much energy in the brain. A good startup requires extraordinary thought and work. If you are working on other things that are also demanding, i.e. a a job, then you won't have your best energy left-over.
I agree with PG on this one, though it is definitely a luxury to avoid distractions.
- BatFastard 10y agoIf you are listening to your customers, trying to get the product "right", sometimes its hard to know what the distractions are, and what the great idea's are. As CTO I know I find myself constantly try to keep out CEO on track to delivering one product, when he wants to try 3 other variations.
- softawre 10y agoHeh, that sounds backwards (between CEO/CTO).
- tedmiston 10y agoThe early stage CEOs I know, especially non-technical ones, are always pitching multiple variations of their product (and sometimes multiple products) to see what sticks. I think the CTO brings the technical realism of "here's what we can build this week".

- softawre 10y agowhich part?
- coldtea 10y agoThat a "good startup requires extraordinary thought and work". I know several people who had started and sold companies (admittedly to the tune of a few million dollars, not billions), without devoting "extraordinary thought and work" to them. For some it was just a side project where university was their main work.
