A tech company is a business built around some innovative technology. While they technology may be something never seen before, a business is a business. Whether it tech or oil or widgets or wheat, all businesses require marketing, finance, management, logistics, etc.

My guess (because I’m not a Wharton grad so it is a guess) is that a Wharton grad will help create the business that a new technology start up needs to get off the ground.

All business - start up, tech, internet, brick and mortar, new, old, exciting, boring, big or small, etc. all have the same basic needs. Nobody has invented a business that doesn’t need working capital, marketing savvy, strong management, inventory management, strategic plans or vision.
