    A: Sales, and fetches the programmers cheeseburgers.-Graham just described me.

Don't forget that it's a course for Silicon Valley-like startups. That doesn't mean all of the advice applies to starting your own business, and it doesn't mean you're useless at starting one. Like he said, it's all about building a great product, which in the Y Combinator world means either a software product or a tech gizmo, and outside of that bubble means anything you can sell to people.

For example, do you think you've been less useful at helping hubski because you're less technical than the rest of the team? I don't think so.
