This presupposes a business major is any better at understanding customer needs than an engineer. Given that most startups fail, I'd be willing to infer that neither the typical non-technical founder nor the typical technical founder is particularly good at this.
it's not "a business major", but "a business major who deeply understands a customers need". just any old business major won't do.
