"The CEO should be the product manager for at least the first year of the company … better yet, until the product is mature and accepted into the market. I made this mistake at my last company where I though the CEO should be more of a general manager. No! At an early stage startup the CEO is and must be the product manager. If you are thinking of starting a technology company and you are not able nor capable nor ready nor willing to be a product manager, I strongly advise you to rethink starting your company … The company IS the product in the early days … Design every experience and approve every pixel. Your product is your company."
