It’s not a “narrative” - technical-minded people tend to be more realistic/pessimistic, which has severe implications on company growth.
It matches my personal experience (the most technical CEOs I work with consistently underperform) and the industry averages (the majority of the companies that make it big have CEOs who aren’t deeply technical).
That includes YC to- from Coinbase to Dropbox, the CEOs are hardly strong technical people (some have CS backgrounds, but they don’t really have a career as accomplished technical individuals and aren’t exactly know for their incredible CTO careers).
