Yeah, if you're a startup you'd better have someone tech oriented and you'll be able to do a lot of things for cheap.

If you're a tech startup, then I don't even know how you'll be able to do anything without someone technical :-)

I've spoken to some YC founders. You can definitely raise funds without a (real) technical founder.

It's also extremely comparatively cheap to get powerful dedi servers from places like Hetzner. Price/performance absolutely dwarfs the cloud services.
