Agree with a non technical founder needing to do everything. Also it depends very much on the type of business. Some businesses have complex technical requirements and so, just a technical co-founder may be necessary. Other times if you are hiring a large technical team (5 or more people) to accomplish what you want to accomplish then the technical co-founder is not as important, and it's more important to hire an awesome team of technical people and have the money raised to do that. However if you have moderate or complex technical requirements and you are starting the business with 1 or 2 people and no staff, then a technical co-founder makes more sense.
