i am currently living in Europe,we have an idea to develop and we have a minimal team of 3 people for coding and design,we are just getting started,the question is there is this 4th guy who lives in America but he is here now as an exchange student in my university,he is a really good programmer,he is interested in our project and i feel we gonna need him on board for iOS engineering,but he is going back to america in July,should we have him as a VP or CTO of the startup or the fact that he will be far away will be a trouble for us ? i will appreciate if anybody helps me out with this confusion
I have worked with a few international teams on business projects, and great things can be done across seas :)
I would suggest really clarifying expectations and responsibilities of each position. Would the 4th American guy be amenable to checking in regularly (however you define that) on projects? Are you all comfortable (or willing to become comfortable) with video-chat meetings and emails? Do you already have much of the strategy in place?
