Question
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
Answer
Don't see this as a negative its actually a positive. It can be difficult for companies to grow in different countries but having a person there can be really beneficial. Especially when it comes to needed access to US bank accounts or Services. Most of the online Market is in the US, so this is plus's all round. Just be sure his stack is smaller in that you don't have to run past all your decisions with him. Chances are because his a coder he would rather play a more technical role anyway
