In many ways, good technical co-founders and angel investors are looking for the same thing. You don’t know anyone, you don’t have experience, you don’t have traction and you don’t have investors. More important that you learn Django or whatever advanced web framework your team will be using.

Inevitably, the excuses begin: I need to hire people to build the product. I don’t know any developers. I can’t tell you how frequently teams of three business school students tell me they’re going to start the next great consumer Internet company. I need money for the servers.

Jason Tugman • Dec 14, 2010 Why make web design and UX separate?
