You have the beginnings of a rom-com premise- the 2 different, unlikely love leads. But you need the situation or hook that brings them together, it typically can’t just be “he likes her” and pursues her through the conventional ways.
Usually the thing that brings them together is also related to what makes the potential relationship difficult. For example, in the old “Can’t Buy Me Love”, the loser guy pays the popular girl to hang out with him so he’ll become more popular, but of course they develop a real relationship. Their differing social status is what brings them together, but also keeps them apart/makes the relationship difficult.
When you come up with that hook, it will not only make your logline but will also give you a backbone to put your story together and hang all your different ideas about the characters, love and relationships, etc.

There is also the workaholic friend who actually has a genuinely good idea? If so, that changes the story completely. I’m getting 2 possibilities here:
1. A story about a hustler-type who gets in over his head when he convinces a millionaire to fund his business idea.
See less2. An Odd Couple type story about 3 different guys who come together and must overcome their differences to create the Next Big Thing.
