I learned something: technical co-founders are a myth.

Of course, nobody’s perfect, but when you’re seeking venture capital, some mistakes, more than others, can cost you the deal. If a VC asks his advisors what they think of your deal and they dislike it, it’s dead. Use your network to get an introduction to VCs. Being uncoachable. Horrifying, but true.
