over PM - ing, is the death for any early software startup. Get a prototype (wireframes). A basic engineering specs, and divide everything you are going to do in tasks that don't take more than 3-4 days to complete. Anything that takes over a week, should probably be divided up. Put all the tasks in a list in a excel sheet, and start marking them down as they are completed. Or insert new ones, as they arise. That's it. I recommend to my competitors to get as many PMs as they can, especially the ones that love Microsoft Project, and don't know how to operate otherwise. Burocracy is a PM's best friend, as that's what they fundementally are. People that track projects, and tell their managers on what's going on.
