Come on. The world doesn't revolve around programmers, despite what we read in the NYT and LA Times. It doesn't revolve around anyone. The fact that the fellow doesn't program doesn't mean that he's a newborn infant in the woods. It takes many hats to make most anything succeed.
Thanks for coming to my defense. It's true at this early stage I tend to feel like a worthless turd, however someone has to learn marketing, sales, finances and all the business shenanigans. A programmer could do that too, but since he is occupied with managing the important part, I figured I'd make myself somewhat relevant.
If any programmer thinks they can pull off a solid VC investment without excessive research and data supporting their product's potential for success, they may as well just sell their code off to someone more informed. You're as necessary as anyone.
