You know, the coding part was by far the most fun but was only about 30% of my time. From meeting with regulators(fintech startup), bankers, government officials, investors, interviewing, compliance, procedures, speaking at and organising events the coding was the easiest part. Sadly I've only recently come to understand the importance of a personal network and only in the last few months began to develop mine. I imagine this is common among many people who (like myself) prefer the digital side of things. I can't speak for other startup CTO's but I'm not just someone who can only code, the human/sales side seems to be my weakest link though. edit: wrote this before you'd filled out your comment in full.
