create roles and circles "org chart"

[mengwong]

in response from request by potential investor "who does what, show us your org chart"

1. find out if there exist open/free alternatives to glassfrog
2. maybe express our roles and circles in a spreadsheet
3. think about how to abstract the general case (all startups) from our case (legalese)

motivation for 3: https://twitter.com/balajis/status/750163292979535872

initial work behind item 2 may be https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w4TTBdP4-SxsGgpHYB_I1_5VyvhIl7BcbXS5m2UVLTE/edit#gid=366895701

I would like us to consider using the valve model Valve_Handbook_LowRes.pdf

for example: "Team leads Often, someone will emerge as the “lead” for a project. This person’s role is not a traditional managerial one. Most often, they’re primarily a clearinghouse of information. They’re keeping the whole project in their head at once so that people can use them as a resource to check decisions against. The leads serve the team, while acting as centers for the teams."

Another example could be: “T-shaped” people. That is, people who are both generalists (highly skilled at a broad set of valuable things—the top of the T) and also experts (among the best in their field within a narrow discipline—the vertical leg of the T).

We could list our skills/expert areas so that the team members know who to tap on. And also we could list the areas where we wish to broaden our skills to.

If we are showing our GlassFrog to seedplus, I am presuming this ticket is satisfied and can be closed.
