What was the model for forming these dot-com businesses? At the risk of oversimplification, it was something like the following. A businessperson—or, as likely, a businessperson wanna-be who had little experience in “old-economy” business—came up with the idea of marketing on the Internet a product or service that heretofore was available only from a brick-and-mortar retailer

metido a homem de negócios
Teresa, como o texto tem um tom irônico, acho que (apesar de concordar com as sugestões dadas), para manter o tom irônico na tradução, você poderia usar: um homem de negócios (apesar de o termo em inglês, dizer pessoa de negócios - este termo soa estranho em português) - ou, melhor dizendo, metido a homem de negócios que tinha pouca experiência...
A businessperson—or, as likely, a businessperson wanna-be who had little experience in “old-economy” business

: a ideia não é má, mas será que em vez de irónico o leitor não pode achar ofensivo/agressivo? há uma linha ténue entre irónico e agressivo. mas não discordo da sua sugestão Humberto.
