ACME PARTS.com will need a
President and Chief Executive Officer at the earliest possible time. By
offering an equity stake in addition to a salary, we should be able to
attract a highly qualified individual. Our challenge is finding and recognizing
a qualified candidate. Our goal is to bring in a person who will be able
to guide our company through the variety of challenges we will face over
the next several years. Ideally, our candidate will possess an advanced
degree in business, have experience with the formation of a new company,
have first-hand experience with capital formation, be familiar with the
Silicon Valley culture, possess a background in technology and have well
established affiliations, contacts and associations within the Silicon
Valley community.
Every attempt will be made
to cultivate leads from friends and associates. Additionally, in light
of the volume of resumes that VC firms receive, we will contact local
venture capital firms for referrals. Another possibility is that contact
with VC may yield results by attracting the interest of an entrepreneur-in-residence.
