I am a startup veteran and a business operations leader CEOs bring on-board to:

  • solve toughest resource problems and hack through emerging business operations impediments
  • help build loyal teams of extremely smart and diverse people
  • deploy and continuously improve sales, marketing automation, customer support, and other operational system
  • nurture culture of accountability and meritocracy

15 years in startups, 9 technology, entertainment, and professional services companies, 12 founders, 7 CEOs.

comment How much financial info should I demand from my CEO (I'm a founder)
Oh boy, you are in up to your neck here. I am sure there is no operating agreement in place, no contract with the CEO, etc. etc. etc. If the company is worth it, get a decent attorney, put checklist together, and go step by step cleaning this up. My gut feeling is you will discover some things only courts can fix. And that is expensive, takes forever, and is an emotional roller-coaster.

comment Mutual or Unilateral NDA?
I wonder if there is any way (via say ToS on this site) to eliminate the need of that bullshit Bar Association mandated disclaimer. Doesn't it take an engagement agreement to establish A-C relationship.

comment Giving Equity to a Sr. Employee
I have to absolutely agree with Keith. Profit sharing is the way to go. If you give someone equity, you better be extremely comfortable with someone. And that takes years of working together.

comment No 1 “must read” for startup founder. Could you point just one?
I really don't care for Guy's snotty know-it-all demeanor... but the book has some golden truths in it. I own it and it is one of the 5 books I give to students I mentor.
