My Job As A Pre-Launch Startup CEO Was To Buy Sandwiches

Seth Sternberg is the CEO and Co-founder of Meebo. He previously worked in M&A at IBM. I love talking to aspiring entrepreneurs?I do it once a week at minimum. I often get asked ?what?s the role of a startup CEO?? Sometimes people are curious about the pre-launch ?CEO? and ask if a startup really needs one. If that CEO isn?t an engineer, what do they do anyhow? Other times people wonder what I do today as CEO of a 180 person company. In this post I?ll cover the pre-launch role, and in a follow-up, I?ll get into the role post-launch. So what does the CEO, who at the beginning is really the general business person, do at a pre-launch startup? Let?s go back to the beginning of Meebo, circa April, 2005.
