Co-founder (technical) of a 3 person pre-launch startup here. Before I didn't believe in non-technical co-founders, but they're really useful. They're not just "idea guys" they're non-technical co-founders, and I like to call them hustlers, a person who does everything they can to make it happen. I like them (my two co-founders) to do most of the market research, legal stuff, blog, buzz, and do some usability testing. One of my co-founders' dad owns an office, so it's better to work from there, the other one knows some design so he's hugely helpful in the technical side too. I sometimes even code with them and they give me ideas, since I like to teach they're learning some programming too! Someday they're going to learn programming so I can avoid the shit I get all day at day job: "Hey, so it's just migrating the file - he means database with data from an external API - right? It's only a 2 minute job..." (a guy who has never coded professionally in his entire life).
