Money overcomes mistrust - it's as simple as that. Speaking for myself, I understand that the business development stuff isn't just hot air, but I don't understand the business development stuff in and of itself. Additionally, I probably don't have the spare time to learn it, since I'm going to be bogged down in all sorts of unexpectedly hairy technical stuff. (Note: this is actually the case at the moment with the startup I'm coding for.) I like my boss and trust that he's got some sort of plan to make us all rich(er), maybe a thousand-aire by the end of the year, but the plain fact of the matter is that I still have bills to pay and unlike him, I doubt I can talk people into giving me money without a real product to show (or even if I have a real product to show).
