Non-Technical Cofounders Should Know Programming

Here’s an anecdote that captures my own observations perfectly:

โ€œHow many of you want to start a company?โ€ David Tisch asked. All hundred hands went up. Thatโ€™s why we were there, crowded into a Wharton classroom to seek startup advice from an industry luminary.

โ€œKeep your hand up if you are technical.โ€ Five hands remained. Maybe six.

โ€œKeep your hand up if you are looking for co-founders.โ€ The only remaining hand belonged to a CS freshman in the corner.

This is why I’m learning to program.
