It's actually incredibly rare for a non-hacker co-founder (aka, a biz guy) to sell faster than the technology can keep up. I'd say this is normally a good scenario to be in as it continuously pushes you to build and build and build rather than sit back on your haunches.
Also, it's better than a biz-focused co-founder who doesn't sell anything. Then you're just dead in the water. I think the key is to find a biz person who's moving just as quickly as you are, and you move quickly together.

Throw in the very common scenario of management that doesn't understand the need for things like refactoring and code maintenance, and it's downright common.
