Comment on Ask HN: Twice as much business dev as product dev?

Comments

I think that depends entirely on the type of start-up. If you're selling into organizations with long sales cycles (government, big companies, etc) then you'd probably be more heavy on the bizdev side, since selling in that environment is almost entirely a numbers game. If you're trying to build the next big "social" app, I would expect the ratio to be at least flipped (if not zeroed out entirely).
