I've been around a few of these companies. There's problems with hiring enough software engineers to grow the thing without sales. If the technical solution or team are good enough, this company exits via aqui-hire, otherwise they die too.
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoThe issue isn't that sales people aren't an important part of the business. It's that they have no business running a technology company. I've seen this in an established non-startup with thousands of employees. Tech founder dies and is replaced with a sales guy. PHB madness ensues.
