This is my pain at the moment. My co-founder is new to startup but seems to think that because I can code, I should just focus on that. I've been working in startups for >10 years now, have run Startup Weekends, and have a bloody MBA. Trying to coach him on what should be happening with the marketing funnel is proving impossible.

If I was contracting I would be counting the money while watching them mess it up with a wry grin on my face.

Why are you putting up with it then?

This is a very good question, that I keep asking myself.

Mostly because loyalty and friendship, and the continual hope that it'll turn a corner soon.

But I've put a date on my willingness to tolerate this. If it doesn't turn a corner by July, I'm out.
