Do I absolutely need to be a techie to start a tech startup? I have co-founders who are techies but I’m the CEO and the burden of fundraising is on me. Hearing from a lot of folks that VC’s will see me from a negative eye.

Fear is the biggest enemy. Stop listening to people. Build build build. The more you ask for opinions, the more scared you will become and it doesn’t help. Trust me, I speak from experience.

Focus on building the MVP and then it doesn’t matter if you are a techie or not. This is like asking if I don’t have a college degree will I get a job? You obviosuly will if you have the right skills for that job. The startup ecosystem doesn’t give a damn to degrees or anything until you can get the job done. Build-show-prove. All the best, mate!
