The Technical Founder
by adam
I have been thinking a lot lately about the people who go on to build successful companies and the one thing that has been standing out as an indicator of success is the technical aptitude of the founder. In other words, did the founder of the company have a hand in building version 1a of the product. Here is a list i’ve pulled together of successful companies that have had ‘technical’ founders.
The list goes on…
Of course there’s plenty of examples of successful companies started by non-technical founders (although i’m having a hard time thinking of any off the top of my head). What is it about having a technical founder that is such a good indicator of success? Well, that’s a post for another day…
Digg was founded by a non technical founder.
