I'm in a similar position. I know enough about coding to hack together basic scripts and manage a tech project, but my main interests and skills lie in marketing and business stuff.
If I were you, I would focus completely on marketing/sales. If you can demonstrate that you know how to drive traffic and convert it into customers, that can be an incredibly valuable asset to an early stage startup.
I've landed several lucrative consulting gigs working for cool startups who had lots of brilliant coders but had no idea how to get customers. Startups, especially those with only tech cofounders usually have no shortage of engineering talent, especially if the application they are building is relatively simple.
But they have a huge shortage of marketing/bizdev talent, and that's where you come in.
Email me (email in profile) if you want to talk more, there are a lot of opportunities out there for people like you and me if you know where to look.
