>> I thought, when juxtaposed with the response I got from Nancy Xiao, a recent high-school grad and TeachStreet intern. “I’ve come to realize one of my bigger challenges is not having a technical background,” she says. “Just because a woman doesn’t speak Ruby doesn’t mean she’s incapable.”
If I'm looking for a partner to start a business, then I am looking someone with skills to execute. So, if no skills in the area then no startup. Their are many skills that could be used in a startup, but I am loathe to let anyone manage developers who wasn't a developer. Sure, maybe there are some examples, but from most of my experience it just leads to problems.
Heck, I would partner with a dragon if it had the right skills (and obey the local laws) - any legal, can-go-to-sleep-at-night way to the money is fine.
