I agree that it depends on the type of business you are developing. The success of our start-up requires someone with my specific knowledge which is non-technical. I can tell you what I am bringing to the table so maybe you can understand why someone who is non-technical is helpful in a start-up. 1. I came up with the idea and keep generating ideas. 2. I have Specific knowledge of the market we are targeting and what they need. I forecasted where the market would go and I am comfortable that I will still be able to do this in the future. 3. I am not afraid to approach anyone about anything. 4. Happy to do work outside my comfort zone. 5. Writing and researching and design skills. 6. I hack things outside of technology. 7. Entrepreneurial background. I know what I am getting into and what it takes to succeed. 8. Business experience on three continents giving me a global perspective of what is needed by our users in different areas of the world in relationship to our project. 9.Graduate degree that saves our company money. 10. Ego in check. So that is what I bring to the company. Find someone like that and you will be super happy because you will be able to focus more time on the stuff that you love doing which is technical.
