Some quick thoughts: If you really have a passion for a business that you want to make happen, while the YC association would be nice don't feel that it has to be make or break. I don't think there is anything laughable about a non-coder doing code: It gives you an edge over C-suite types when it comes to working with coders. It's also not insane to apply: Even if you fail chances are you'll learn a great deal along the way and make some contacts. Also there's no rule that you can't apply more than once or try another incubator program.
