While Steve Jobs was a genius marketer, you have it backwards still. Bill Gates was far more of a businessman than anyone else in the industry. He saw opportunities and knew how to deal business. That's how he secured the contract from IBM and started Microsoft. Steve Jobs was a poor businessman in comparison. To think that Engineers need need "business people" in a startup to be successful is totally false. A quick look at who the CEO's of the most successful companies in tech today will tell you that Engineers easily make very good businessmen, but not the other way around. Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc were all founded by engineers.
