Dear SaaStr: When Will VCs Push You To Bring On an Outside / Professional CEO? I think 99% of successful VCs, especially “traditional”, experience Silicon Valley-type VCs have now seen you want to back the founder-CEO forever if you can. You sometimes get a short-term boost from a Professional CEO, especially as they often are very good at recruiting, a skill it takes many first time founders a while to truly learn and embrace.
