> I realized I have all the technical chops needed to build my business

I don't know much about business, but I think you need business chops to build a business.

Absolutely, once you find the market, but at the ideation stage it’s more about spotting it in the first place. That’s much harder than it seems.

Sure, it just seems the technical chops are way down the list of priorities...

I have met tons of business people that never got their business off the ground because they couldn’t build the product. For every failed technical founder, there are 10x more failed business founders. It’s not all just one or the other. You need a bit of both and tons of luck. Starting a business isn’t just all skills.
