Can you expand on what you mean? What does the typical founder have? Is this better? Worse?



Much of SV is wary of MBAs. But I don't think that view extrapolates to founders since they are a different breed than employees.


I see people say this online a lot, but everywhere I look there are startups full of MBA's in SF and SV.


Eventually you will need the MBAs to "straighten you out." I'm sure Harvard, Stanford, Columbia etc would be forced to close their schools if they provided no value to their students, as no one would hire them.

In SV they are derided and part of it, IMO, it's because all the investors want a brilliant guy with no sense of organizing. Investors will provide that, for an extra xx% :)


A friend of mine has an MBA, still works as a software dev.
