“Our co-founders travel a lot between TED talks and angel pitches. You understand.”

I do occasionally wonder how some founders have the time & money to travel to every conference/meetup/event on the circuit. I suppose some of them are simply uber-talented and can balance that with the needs of their business... but between coding and talking to customers it's all I can do to find time to sleep or eat (and occasionally read HN ;)).

In my experience, the business-minded founder runs the circuit generating interest while the tech-minded founder keeps building, recruiting. Both are equally valuable when done properly.
