That's why I used the word "typically." This absolutely does not mean "always," but I didn't think I'd have to clarify that.

- chadash 4y agoBut is it typical? Sure, if Bill Gates or Elon Musk founded a company today, they'd hire people to write the code. But for people who haven't made it big, I'd assume that having at least one technical founder is extremely common. Just in the examples you gave, Apple had Steve Wozniack. Sean Rad built the prototype for Tinder at a Hackathon. Seems like Box had a technical cofounder as well based on Wikipedia article.
- cortesoft 4y agoYeah, but you then used that attribute to decide that the other cofounder wasn't a real cofounder. You can't use something that is only typical to then prove they can't be a real founder.
