An MBA is as much a degree designed for entrepreneurship as a History Bachelors. Perhaps less. Do History Majors need a founder match svc?
-
Yes, they do. What I am describing is simply the friction for ALL non-tech entrepreneur, in a tech world.
-
That's backwards. There's no excuse for being non-tech. Most value to tech startups is not developer talent, but it's all tech talent.
-
In the consumer tech world today and for the last 5 years, the tech has gotten relatively easy so a unique consumer insight is the 1st value
-
yes but i think SV is the biggest hypocrite. They'll say the above and still run the ground to just hire technical ppl.
-
i know its easy to validate and measure the value of a technical person through samples, projects, github. Not so much for non-tech.

I'm not talking about "Cofounder dating". The notion that MBAs should not be funded alone is inconsistent with their psychology imo.
-
More generally, how do you organize the VC-model to output more prototypes for ideas that comes from a non-tech point of view?

I'd say Cofounders should've also worked together (at least on side projects) before starting the company. Don't you think that'd be better?

Taking this further. Cofounders should be friends AND should have worked together before founding. Work compatibility!=friend compatibility.

I agree. Where I think there is a bias: many MBAs want their first tech employee (vs. a cofounder) because they want control of the vision.
