I replied the same thing above: tech business are usually not about tech, they are empowered by tech. A company that uses phones to sell their products is not about "phones", they are about the product and the phone is just a tool. For me, the web was just a tool.

A lot of non-tech co-founders exist and they succeed, so certainly not absurd.

Nah, troll harder next time.
If you can't hear and handle the truth, then you will persistently and consistently fell. Even if you generate profits, that is not the end all, be all marker of success. After all, Microsoft is ever increasing its profits, yet it is polluting the world with products that are barely innovating.

But please, keep thanking the complacent comments that do nothing to better your case.

Innovation without profit would be success, but building things people buy isn't success because it's not innovative? What?
Read and re-read. I never said "Innovation without profit would be success". Oh and in case you didn't understand the first part of this reply. Read and re-read again.
