What have you tried so far? It's possible to prove your idea would work by providing value for people in a very manual way. Once you can show that you've provided value, then it will be easier to pitch the idea. What are some of your ideas?

I have approached some angel investors for my ideas, but they told me I don't have technical background to be funded and I'm too much of risk for them. Then I started contacting my friends (computer engineering students) at college, but they were very reluctant to be part of a start-up cause majority of are looking to earn "quick money" to cover their debt for tuition fees. If you are interested, and if you have technical background I'm perfectly willing to share my ideas with you. So what do you think?

  You completely missed GP's point. They are telling you that you're disillusioned in your belief that your million dollar ideas cannot be evaluated without a technical partner. I hope you realize that nobody on this site is going to read what you wrote and want to work with you. You're too much of a risk.

That's what they said, because they didn't want to be rude. The fact is that "ideas guys" are a dime a dozen and they don't even know their ideas are unimplementable.

This is so true. The first step is proving your idea out by doing things that don't scale. Create a landing page, get some email addresses, put things in a spreadsheet and process them manually. Figure out if the idea is a good one. Additionally, being a "Business" major and being a programmer are not mutually exclusive. Give yourself an honest chance at learning how to program in Ruby using Rails. You won't create the most amazing technological solution, but if it works and is bringing in money, then what does it matter?
