Accountants and bookkeepers weren't really the "biz type" I was talking about (though they are important), I was talking about sales, marketing and finance guy. Granted, a smart techie willing to learn can learn those stuff too. But I think the type of business really determines whether you'll need to find a biz type cofounder early on, which in your case, a marketing/sales person is useless during the startup phase. Something like Groupon for instance, would probably need sales people early on. Thanks for the discussion, I found it really stimulating. :)
