This article reminds me of an actual life situation I’m currently living. A friend of mine is an entrepreneur; MBA guy he has under his belt, couple of well funded, failed, heavily tech startup.
The guy is very smart and has tons of ideas, most of them requiring a lot of tech implementation. His downfall according to my own analysis: his lack of respect for tech guys, he is stuck with the ninety outsourcing mentality, he basically sees a tech guy as some dude that work can be outsourced anytime to India or any other place in the world.
I think a non tech guy, an MBA guy who wants to succeed in Tech startup need to get in trustful and respectful partnership with tech guy(s). Tech guy should have an equity base on how important his contribution really is to the business. With my friend startup I have seen poorly executed tech companies failing miserably despite being well funded.
