I also agree with this. Why not have requirements like "One founder must be 6'2" tall"? Okay, it's not exactly the same, but I think the analogy is somewhat reasonable. There are many skills required in order to start a successful business, and I question whether design skills are anywhere in there. I think having a requirement that a founder for a design business must have some design experience (either formal or not) is a reasonable thing. It also occurs to me now that a "designer" could mean just about anything. A game designer to found a game company? That sounds good. A hardware designer to found a new hardware-oriented technology firm? Also good. A graphic designer to found a graphic design studio? Yeah, that sounds great too!
