According to a classic Gompers and Lerner study, the challenge is very real, with a majority of new ventures that don't attract investors failing within the first three years.

My first job after college was as a developer at Andersen Consulting. I don’t believe you can hire great business people who outsource the development to a hot incubator who builds you code to match your ambitions.
