Michael Arrington, Anne Wojcicki, Guy Kawasaki, Seth Godin. All were business co-founders.
You see business guy founder's companies regularly on techcrunch, how often do you bother to look into the background of founders on news stories ?
- vaksel 17y agonone of those examples involved people getting a programmer cofounder. Arrington is the sole founder, and his "startup" was just a wordpress install. Anne Wojcicki doesn't have a programmer co founder. Guy Kawasaki paid thousands to build alltop, so doesn't apply. Seth Godin is a marketer/blogger, so once again, no technical cofounder.
