"The answer? Because some of us actually like tech." - Yep. It's true that it's much more difficult to evaluate MBA competency than engineering competency, but I do think the market is some what efficient. I've worked some pretty idiot MBAs (Harvard no less) and they haven't really gone anywhere too far.

Consider yourself incredibly lucky and privileged to be able to take your idea from pure thought stuff to reality.
