I've been thinking about starting my own studio. I have saved some money aside (probably not enough).
Two questions for you!
1) I don't have a software dev background. Huge gamer but I have only worked in marketing and tech sales and I have a background in business law. I have a good idea on what I want to achieve and I am realistic about what can be done. I have always thought that if I started down this path my first step would be to hire A CTO. I can handle the admin, marketing, sales, and the CTO/devs can focus on what they like doing: coding.
Does it make sense? Would it truly save time for everyone in terms of division of labour?
2) I've read that in terms of budget to get started on a studio, $80k was a good target. Is that an accurate figure?
