> just sales

This sounds like a typical engineer's summary. It is a dismissal - just like the video talks about tech being dismissed.

Recruiting a co-founder is not "just sales". The video is taking about an archetypical salesperson who still can't buy a tech guy (maybe their sales skills are not so good).

"just" as in, an emphasis on the importance of sales, not a minimisation of it.

sales is everything at the start, and a huge amount of the reason why technical people usually need non-technical.

(i would have second thoughts about a non-tech founder without sales skills)
