Y Combinator | How To Build A Tech Startup With No Technical Skills @ycombinator | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
Based on the thousands of companies YC has funded over the years, the biggest common element between all successful startups is having technical talent on the founding team.

In this episode of Dalton & Michael, we’ll discuss exactly why that is and why recruiting a technical co-founder is the single biggest way to create value as someone trying to start the next big thing.
