Hi hackers,<p>I have been researching about startups and the tech world and I came across your wonderful community. I do not have a background in technology (non-hacker here), but I have always been fascinated by tech changes and I have made an effort to be up-to-date with your world. I now have the chance and the means to pursue my ideas and I would like to know from you: is it practical for a non-hacker to start her own tech business? I have found a great team of coders and web-designers I can hire to help me with that, but is it possible for a sole founder to get funding without herself having the technical knowledge? Anyone in a similar situation? There is an answer to a question on the FAQ page which suggests that at least one of the founders be technical (in order to both be successful and get funding I’m guessing) but this is currently not an option for me.
Thank you in advance!
