Successful tech companies often need to do much more than just technology to be successful. There's no reason such a company shouldn't have at least one non-technical founder. I agree that it would be a mistake if all the founders were non-technical, or if the non-technical person were running the technical side of the show. But nothing suggests that's true here.
- contagionhealth 17y agoExactly! We've built our company based not just on tech, but market needs. I've seen startup friends build kick-ass stuff that goes nowhere because no one knows about it (the marketing and biz/dev functions) 2 years after launch. Then they're demoralized, die off, and go back to a day job and hacking nights and weekends.
