Related question:

How do you get a job as a Product Manager in a startup? Every job I find for startups/small companies is for a "ninja programmer", "code guru", "awesome programmer", etc.

Most non-technical PMs I know were former founders at startups of their own. Aside from that (cause that's an expensive and painfully round-about career path), I wish I had answers for you.

"Most non-technical PMs I know were former founders at startups of their own"

That's one way, another is to grow into it from a related role: programmer, designer, etc.
