Speaking as a former startup founder, I can tell you that good business people are just as scarce as good hackers. It's just harder to evaluate business people (at least, it is for me). Also: it's important that all co-founders can present themselves as humble and self-aware. Using terms like "business monkeys" and saying "you played around with excel spreadsheets" made me wince.
