Team Building

POA

Building successful teams for app start-ups throughout the UK. As with all successful businesses, no person is an island. It takes time, effort, expertise, and a great team to build a successful and sustainable app or tech company.

Getting started is often the easy part, but it’s the nuts and bolts of the operation that are important to plan and map out.

Working with numerous app start-ups over the past 8 years, we know there are 5 key team members you are going to need to recruit in order to successfully launch and grow your tech company.

Irrespective of the skills and knowledge you and your co-founders bring to the table, you will want to ensure you have the following 5 seats filled – at least for the purposes of your business plan.

WHAT DO I NEED?

You will need an experienced CFO or financial director in place. This will ensure you are realistic with your financial projections and properly manage your budget. It also comes in handy to have a person who can answer all the tricky accounting and financial questions when you pitch to investors.

You will also need a good CMO or marketing director who will be able to steer the brand, build awareness, create and then execute your marketing strategy. Alongside a CMO, many start-ups also employ a CSO or sales director to work closely with the marketing team to help generate and convert leads into paying customers.

So, after finances, marketing and sales, it is then time to appoint a CTO or technology director. Your CTO will be able to answer any questions relating to the tech, help recruit the right developers and oversee the successful development of the app.

Finally, the star of the show, the CEO. Also known as the commander and chief. The CEO is the leader within the start-up team structure, they mostly handle the bigger picture and oversee the whole business process.

We have a wide network of successful CMOs, CTOs, CFOs, CSOs, CEOs, CPOs who we regularly collaborate with.
