I disagree. Evernote, Airbnb, Twitter, Facebook, etc. could not be built without a great tech team.
Whether they solve new technical problems in the context of computer science is irrelevant to needing a great tech team to properly execute something like the aforementioned companies.
- alelefant 13y agoI think he means as a startup company you don't need the great tech team, you need the idea.
- fleitz 13y agoYes, ability to execute is key, for the most part though you need people who are great with databases, rather than great at creating databases. eg. Hire the guy that can optimize queries rather than the guy making PAXOS algorithms. That's what I mean by great, and to be clear about startup I mean Facebook, et al, when they were at the stage of only having raised $5 mm, not Facebook post-IPO.
