Ask HN: How to find a CTO and CFO - Social Media Company

1 points by barrettshepherd ↗ HN
My name is Barrett and I'm the founder of a social media events company called CreaTour. We organize events all over the nation for fans to meet their favorite Viners, Instagrammers, YouTubers, etc.

Anyway to date we've done Austin and Orlando and I'm currently working on getting investors involved and planning out future events. We've already grossed over 100k JUST from ticket sales.

I have lots of ideas how I want to expand it and recently we launched CreaTourMGMT where we manage different influencers or internet personalities. We 're working on growing our lineup.

Anyway as all this growth and awesome things happen, I need help.

I'm currently seeking a CTO (Chief Technical Officer) to help fulfill all our awesome creative endeavors.

I'm also seeking a CFO (Chief Financial Officer) to help manage everything from budgets to taxes and everything inbetween as the company continues to grow.

If anyone is interested or knows someone who may be interested please let me know!

Just to clarify... EVENTS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. As I mentioned above we are already expanding out into management and have lots of other areas we want to do as well.

A company that has grossed 100k doesn't need a CFO. You need an accountant. Don't slap a fancy title on someone until you need to actually hire someone who deserves it (like when you're grossing $5-10m/yr, or want to go public). Don't do it if for no other reason than when you get to the point where you actually need a CFO, you're going to have to tell the guy who isn't qualified that he's out.
