[Sigia-l] Product Company Entrapreneurs (apologies for cross posting)

[Christina Wodtke]

As a fund-raising fool, I attend a lot of SV networking events for 
entrepreneurs. There are plenty of them. I meet marketers, engineers, 
business folks... but never any designers or folks with design 
backgrounds (unless it's Frank Ramirez.) This might be my luck, or it 
might be a trend.  I'd like to hear from folks why you think this 
happens? why  don't more ID's, Interaction designers, etc become product 
company  CEO's? And yes, I've heard of 37 signals... but even they took 
a  different outsider path. Never raised capital, staying small and 
service  oriented...

Is there something different, and will it change?  I'd like to write 
some articles on it, and if folks also want to contribute go here 
http://www.boxesandarrows.com/idea/view/5240 or if you want to discuss, 
I'd love it if the moderators were up for allowing it since it was 
cross-posted?
