Where to find a good CTO for your startup?

"CTO" is a pure vanity title. It's a little silly to go looking for "the right CTO". Your friends want an evangelist product marketing manager, not a "CTO".

I have yet to meet a marketing manager that builds/codes his product(s).

Maybe I should meet more marketing managers?

Lots of CTO's don't build products, either.

How so? He said, "...we would like someone ... with experience in scaling web applications, and in building innovative services." What marketing manager has that XP?
