Ask PG: Should I apply if I don’t know how to program?

I have been contemplating whether or not I should post this because I am not sure if I will be apply to YC, but I think that the answers to my questions would be useful to other people as well. So….. I guess the title says it all, but let me expand a little. I come from a biochemistry background and have come up with an idea (one of many) for a start-up that will do a lot for research in biology, as well as other areas in and beyond science. The idea is web based and is awesome, naturally; but the problem is that I don’t know how to program or ‘hack’ – the last thing I hacked was some E. coli. I know about computer technologies, what could be used to create my start-up and how to communicate my ideas to developers, but I can’t code it myself. Therefore, I have come at it from a business angle and know about the problem, the solution, the target audience(s), competition, doing business plans, future directions, world domination, etc., etc. I have met plenty of helpful business people, got some great advisor's, but have yet to meet some hackers that could take it to the next stage. So my questions are: 1) Can/should I apply to YC as a single person with an idea, who is ready to build a prototype, but does not have any hackers on his team yet? 2) Do I need hackers on my team before I apply? 3) Would I be able to team up with hackers after being accepted, or even in Boston? I know I would probably be the most unqualified single man ‘team’ to ever apply – ever – but it would be worth the risk if I knew I would at least be considered and not immediately dismissed. Even if I was, it would just make me more determined. Cheers.
