I tend to agree; I wouldn't start a business at least solely with my most intelligent acquaintances. I'd start a business with people who are intelligent enough, social, motivated, and perhaps slightly dysfunctional and have something to prove. If you're a HN reader type, you don't need another you in order to start a successful business, you need a !you.
- gadders 13y agoThere is definitely a law of diminishing returns in a lot of cases with intelligence. People who are just that tiny bit too bright are, not to put to fine a point on it, a bit strange. 99% of anything you want to achieve in business or life you need to work through people to achieve, so people skills are just as important.
