> 95% of people I talked to were non-technical

Made me think of https://dilbert.com/strip/2015-09-11

The vast majority of the engineer/non-engineer speed dates that I remember from the Cambridge University entrepreneurship scene were basically versions of this.

The other type was "A: Hi, nice to meet you! I have a great idea for a startup. Would you like to join me in implementing my idea?" "B: No! Because I have a better idea for a startup. Would you like to forget about your idea and instead join me in implementing my idea?" "A: No thanks, I still like my idea."

Great comic! There are definitely ppl out there like this.

I have a rubric of sorts I use to rank people and ideas. This makes it very easy to avoid the dilbert scenario.

Some of these people are very advanced (have contracts / LOIs, MVP, funding)
