While there is always room to create your own role depending on what you bring to the table, in my existential struggles on this topic recently I have come to the conclusion that there isn't really a very satisfying role to be had unless you're able to really fill a niche well, or have excellent timing. People for non-technical roles for startups seem to be much more fungible -- still hard to find great people, but a much larger pool to search from than just for developers.
