"The next time you guys all think that the "business guy" in start-ups is overrated, think about the time you clicked the up arrow here." The business guy is someone who has read Steve Blank's book and put it into practice? Any "technical guy" can read the book and put the ideas into practice (far easier than a business guy teaching himself to code ). Talking to your customers is hardly magic. Why do they need a "business guy" again (again confining the discussion to the kind of activity talked about in the bog entry. Anyone can do this. There are specialized business skills which do call for "business guys" but talking to potential customers when you plan a startup is hardly a specialist skill). EDIT: I am just playing the devil's advocate here. I think there is insufficient information in the blog post to make it some kind of paean for the "business guy" and/or a counterpoint to the supposed underrating of "business guys".
