I've just seen too many "two mbas and a PowerPoint" startups, "we just need some money to build a prototype"
I would rather see a prototype (or a soft launch with a little traction) than a PowerPoint that poorly explains the implications ("lipstick is a 40 billion:ur business, if we get just ONE PERCENT")
anyway.
The trading desk I worked on, many years ago, did not hire folks wih MBAs either. Inheritance?
Asked another way: Are you identifying this as a lack of tech expertise, or as a 'poisoning' of the mind irregardless of the experiences?
Thanks!
