> The idea of a sole passionate founder who grinds away in their garage is more of a “chosen one” trope than a common reality.

There is an entire spectrum between a sole founder chipping at something in a garage, and a non-technical founder picking random ideas from a hat and dropping them with the same nonchalance.

How do you think the various Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos or Henry Ford went about it? Dropping big names because I am certain we both know these figures, but applies to most pre-2010 company founder.
