Jobs is a terrible example. If he founded a company he'd be a finger snap from surrounding himself with an A-List tech team, the likes of which SV VCs only dream about. It's the fact that he could find the talent if he needed it that the valuation would obviously be greater than 0. Your point is moot.
- kenjackson 16y agoNo, that's exactly my point. You don't say, "non-programmer equals -200k". You say, "What do they bring to the table? Oh, you have Bill Clinton on your team and you're trying to do a government services startup -- that's a pretty big plus, even if Bill isn't coding". "You're doing a Clicker like company and you have the ex-CEO of Comcast. Maybe a plus". "Doing financial services software, and you have the ex-head of IT from BofA... maybe useful, even if he is 'just' IT". In fact, I'll say if you have a startup company in front of you who doesn't know how to judge each individual, pass on them. They'll fail.
