Where to find a CEO for my startup?

2 points by Arbinv 3 years ago · 1 comment · 1 min read


I have taken my startup as far as I can and would like to find a CEO to take it on. We have taken it from concept to product (physical) in the market but now I need someone to scale. Where do I look?

You won't unless you have the money to hire one. Most experienced or want-to-be CEOs will want to be paid very well in addition to getting a big chunk of the company. What you need to do now is look for investors so you can build out a skeleton upper management rung, as needed, and get some employees.

The product is just the start. Now you have to build a company around the product. You'll need to get someone to increase demand thru marketing, someone to manage production and on and on. I bet you can do that yourself. Once you have a stable company then you can start to look for a CEO that may be able to help grow the company. If you were able to get the product to market, i bet, you can certainly build the company around it to move it further.

Read up on the process. Here are 2 books that will get you started:
