Don't learn any of that! Non-technical founders shouldn't focus on becoming semi-hacks. That won't really help anyone. There are many technical founders, like me, who have interesting technology and a unique viewpoint, but who can't package it and proposition it to the right people. That's what you can bring to the table: - Figure out who might be avid users and target them. - Figure out which facets of the technology shine most brightly and get the focus on that. There are many, many things you can do to add infinite value, but learning Rails is not one of them.
