Quote of the Week

"The thing I like to see is three personality types at the beginning of a company.  A director of engineering to build a demoable product.  A CTO who can expound on a vision.  And someone who is focused on building the company, selling the vision of the company, and marketing the company."

Update:  I threw out the video because the autoplay feature is annoying.  You can view the video here.
