This is quite insightful, I really like listening to YC talks as I find them quite enlightening. As an aspiring entrepreneur with a non-tech background, this sounds timely.
Non techical founder here, with business degree. Currently working on transitioning to being a Techical founder for past 2 months, there are no excuses.
Non-tech cofounder here. We have had great experiences using freelancers and outsource models. You just need to have a team that can effectively communicate and manage the development. Now whether investors like that or not is a different story.
But there is a point ,missing here. Based on my own experience , You'd be spend 2 years leaning : Python ,Django . Flutter than searching for tech -cofounder. And put your destiny on others' hand.
