I am insulting Europe's tech business culture, yes, if that's what it takes for us to begin to discuss this topic. Coming from me, that's saying a lot, because I usually never find culture similarities that span the whole of Europe. Please don't take this as a personal insult towards anyone. The obsession with PHDs and higher level education.. great, another Euro-obsession. Look, I'm not saying that he can't be a great startup founder. I'm just offering a different perspective for how to present one's self to potential tech cofounders. Emphasizing "business skills" and higher level education is definitely not the best way.
