So a domain expert with vision. What would he need this team for apart from maybe their money, which out of the three is probably the easiest to acquire?
A team that can execute is worth something too. The original comment stated (correctly in my opinion) that you want the person with vision to be in charge. But a domain expert with vision may or may not be able to execute against that vision effectively. If they are for real they'll have started, even if it just a manual process or horrible looking MVP. But if this team got together with someone with vision (and were able to check their egos at the door, not a small ask) they could really execute against that vision and bring a great product to market.
And who knows how to run a business. Sadly, it is quite often the case that those at the helm of start-ups are absolutely clueless about what it takes to run an actual business.
This makes everything look fine and peachy until the VC money runs out.
