reat strategic thinkers have a gift for seeing threats and opportunities before anyone else. Here's what they look for.

The faltering economy has given birth to a very healthy startup movement. Web applications are being built and deployed constantly, and everywhere there are founders with great ideas for solving common problems online.

Over the past three years I've had the pleasure of working with startup founders on some of their first web applications as CTO or interim CTO, and I've met dozens of others in the same position. Along the way, I've noticed a large communication chasm between developers and many startup founders. Many founders come to me because feel they have been "abandoned" by their developer, or have found them lacking and let them go.
