If you understand tech well enough that you can spar with them then yes. I have built several products with freelancers. My primary area is design but I understand technology well enough that I can help solve potential problems I can even code a little (mostly php, javascript and scripting like css and html) I can also look at lover level languages like objective c code and understand kind of what is going on. If you are building something technically complex I would say you are much better of finding at tech-co-founder or at least have some friends in the tech business you get advice from. If you are building simpler things then you should be fine with just running it yourself.
