It seems like you have a knack for the creative side too, it's not really that bad considering that you can always merge both technical and creative. I'm in the same situation as you so I can kind of relate. It's hard to try building a technological start-up especially when you are not that adept. There are three things you should work on which is your creativity, networking, and convincing power. First, you need to empower your creative side because it is only that side of you that can really come up with great ideas. And you thinking about creating things that can solve problems, you've already made the first step into creating something that's truly great. Think outside the box, I always say. Second, it doesn't matter if you don't really know how to start it, everything's uncertain at this point. That's why you have to network and find the people who can help you in the parts where you're weak at. You need to find people who can really help build your ideas because an idea no matter how great cannot be built by just one man, no matter how smart you are. Focus on your strengths, right now everything is uncertain. Think of it like a jigsaw puzzle, the more pieces you put in, the clearer the picture gets. It's like that in starting a business, the more people you work with the clearer it gets. Third, work on your communication skills. No matter who you are, whether you're trying to build the next generation computer like Steve Jobs or trying to create an artistic masterpiece like Andy Warhol, you need to be able to convince people that what you're trying to create is the next big thing. You're gonna get a lot of rejections, that's a fact of life. But you're rejections will test you to see how badly you really want to create technologies that can impact the world in a good way. Howard Schultz, the Starbucks king finally managed to get funding from the banks on his 224th proposal. This is just a suggestion though, you don't have to take it.
