This left a smile on my face because I’ve experienced it in reverse. I had always been the business person on the side of Tech. I had the MBA, led the strategy development. Decades of business experience to senior levels in large corporations.
But when I joined the deep techs as a cofounder at a startup, my ideas were inferior. I talked too many business acronyms — but above all, I wasn’t credible because I couldn’t do the deep techie talk 🤷♀️
That makes perfect sense. A tech start-up is a world unto itself. While it might have been true that your “fluency gap” was technical, the others’ suffered the lack of business savvy that I wrote about.
