>at this point it is a borderline scam to work for a CEO that isnt significantly better/bringing in capital

I never contested that. My point is that there are plenty of devs who think they should found a startup based on the mistaken idea that they can learn the business side of things overnight.

If you find mentors, or just pay people 200 an hour to meet once a week, a lot could be learned. I agree the gap is large, but it can be overcome
