I'd go with effectively being able to dumb down complex concepts while correctly understanding the limitations of the project. You don't have to be able to replicate a tech project to get a correct understanding of all its parts. Learn to communicate with software engineers in a way they find useful and act as a bridge between them and the clients you want to reach. Know the limits of things you're offering and present the product in a way that will concisely display its value. I think any technical partner would immensely appreciate someone who has a great grasp of their work without the burden of under delivering on an ambitious sales pitch.
