We know.
But geek profiles and marketing profiles have often huge differences in life styles, ethics, rhythm, objectives, etc.
It was visible at university, it's still is in social life and work life.
Diversity enrich your life up to a point, after which cost/ratio plummet. I rarely see those profiles going along and having fun sharing time together. It's not impossible, but it's not common, so you won't get a lot of co-founders that will match, or that did, but will last.
It's not that geek are completely oblivious to their shortcoming.

- LanceJones 5y agoThere are some of us out there... I've learned to write code for basic apps (web scrapers in Python, Slack integration in PHP) but I spend most of my days as a product marketer. I love working with software engineers but won't ever be one myself. I know what I'm good at but I can appreciate those other skills.
- tppiotrowski 5y agoOptimise for picking a marketer that believes in the vision and uses the product themselves instead of someone who has a proven record of making sales and you'll get along just fine. Don't trade money for values.
