These guys are doomed.

To repeat what I've said elsewhere: we need a succinct term for non-technical people who think they should be doing startups and just have to find some programmers to realize their visions. You can't call them suits or MBAs because most of them didn't go to B-school and don't wear suits. What to call them?

wantrepreneurs? they desperately want to see themselves as entrepreneurs, but bring nothing to the table other than self-promotion skills :) I worked for one of those once... these guys sound positively sane compared to that guy.

What about "Free Lunchers"? They think that it's a hot market so they can easily create a company and then flip it for some cash?

Whereas you are in the market for the hard work, I suppose?

I prefer to think of it as being in the market because you've a passion to solve a problem. There's going to be hard work involved in solving a real problem that people are facing and solving it in a way that's pleasant for the average user.
