How does someone with big ideas, but no clue how to pull off execution, ever make their way into the YCsphere? It all sounds cool, but I haven't the slightest clue how to build the starting phases of a project, when I haven't a coding bone in my body, nor any real contacts that I know to be capable of coding.

Sound like you may need a technical cofounder. Even better would be to learn to code or at least work alongside developers with systems/business analysis for example, so you can have a sensible discussion with them. The gap, if you have no idea how the tech works, tend to be very hard to bridge otherwise.

used to be like you few years ago (not YC yet but we are venture-backed). my only recommendation: find a partner and convince him/her to join with you. no need to be technical but do need to be complementary to your skillsets and characteristics. read somewhere (pg’s blog?) that cofounder relationship is like marriage but without the best part ;) so you can imagine. looking forward to your future success, don’t give up man.
