...who would be on it?

Specifically people who will help you on the product, NOT business, side of the startup: who've built great tech / proved to be exciting marketeers / done something new with social apps/community / will be awesome help in building something people want.

i.e. which hosting providers have a proven track record of helping clients robustly scale their server infrastructure as a new service gains traction and becomes a 'big' site..?

Anyone had a good experience of a CDN provider? We're just looking for somewhere to offload our static files (images, style sheets. JavaScript) to help the site run faster, no requirement for streaming media or anything like that.

We don't need much storage, nothing fancy - just well-distributed servers.. And 'affordable' (cheap).
