The “perhaps intellectually” comment might be a clue that there’s a specific reason here behind the scenes. Or maybe not, who knows… Having gone through a lot of pitching, I think a lot of VCs really do like to see 2 founders, one technical and one business. They often don’t love having both roles in one, and the reasons can range from legitimate to cynical, but either way it’s their money to invest I guess. I will say that having success exiting doesn’t mean people can either afford to start a new one, nor that they should spend their own money doing it even if they can afford it. I spent too much of my own money on a startup, had a successful exit, and I definitely won’t do that again.
