Do, or do not. There is no try. -Yoda
Do you think this keeps down other founders from 'making it happen'.
If you're interested in starting a web related company. I would recommend learning the basics. Learn some HTML, CSS, javascript, then jQuery.
Check out: TeamTreehouse.com
Then some PHP/MySQL to see how web applications work behind the scenes.
You can mock up a basic app/service with that amount of knowledge.
Then learn a framework like Laravel or Rails or team up with a technical co-founder at that point. laracasts.com railscasts.com
Network, contact developers online, make friends.
We're living in a time when kids can build $200B companies out of their dorm room. It's never been easier to build a web/tech company at any point in history.
