Founders who can't code
There's a big difference between the HN stereotype and "real" business people. REAL non-technical co-founders:<p>- Can raise funding and know funders well<p>- Have a massive network of people to tap into<p>- Can cold-call like no-one's business<p>- Know how to negotiate a deal to the point of paranoia<p>- Have deep domain experience and connections<p>- Make plans for the future, but can pivot on a dime<p>- Can talk enough tech to understand well beyond buzzwords<p>- Know how to keep themselves and the tech side accountable<p>- Let the tech side concentrate on what they do best
