You're making a mistake many engineers make in thinking that getting a startup off the ground is all about engineering. Frankly, engineering is often the easy part, and I say that as an engineer who co-founded a tech heavy successful venture backed startup. The hardest thing is choosing a compelling product and then selling it to paying customers. If you think business people undervalue techies, don't make the same mistake by under-valuing business people.

If you read my comment, I said "building the product".
The burden of building a startup is centered around getting people to believe a product is worth a damn.
