Marketing and sales can be learned. Seriously. As long as you are able to validate that people have this problem and solve it in a way that makes sense the rest can be googled. If it kicks off, you can hire people with expertise to help. Along the way for sales you'll have to learn how to put yourself out there, which can be challenging (it was for me). But its like speaking in front of people. If you do it enough times you learn to get by. If your a founder, regardless of whether you the "tech person" or not, you'll probably have to learn all of this anyway. Id second the "dont do it alone" part if its a full-time startup. Its tough going and having someone to share the burden in incredibly helpful.
