With a lot of assumptions I would wager that it was indeed the founder skill set issue.
Doing B2B sales is a skill, doing B2B marketing is a skill, doing fundraising is a skill, managing R&D is a skill, customer relations, legal, compliance, etc. You can learn anything, but you cant learn everything.
If he had two founders, one from a sales background and one from R&D management while he was the product guy, I would wager his story would be different.
