As a technical CEO, I was good at sales and getting deals. I didn't have the focus to close deals though. I had a non-tech co-founder, but he wasn't CEO and he couldn't close things like funding all on his own.

Putting the best tech person as CEO effectively makes it a solo founder effort. The ideal is the business person as CEO, or perhaps some multi-talented person where product development is fully delegated to a CTO.
