You can start heaps of successful startups and program all the code without knowing polymorphism. You don't need OO programming. You don't need MVC. Check out R

You can start heaps of successful startups and program all the code without knowing polymorphism. You don't need OO programming. You don't need MVC. Check out Rasmus Lerdorf's blog, the creator of PHP. He doesn't use MVC, objects or any of that stuff :) But it sounds like you don't enjoy programming, which is a problem. Outsourcing is NOT the way to go, a major pain. You'll get more leverage out of getting a good technical cofounder. But then again, outsourcing might work if you're great at project management (but very few non-technical people truly are).
