We need more engineers running companies...

People like Elon Musk and (no matter what you think of them), the googlers up in Mountain View - engineers who are prepared to invest heavily in speculative technology.

Companies run by investors won't speculate unless they think there's a better than even chance of making a return on their investment. Whereas Engineers with the wherewithal will invest in technology for technology's sake alone.
