Based on the thousands of companies YC has funded over the years, the biggest common element of all successful startups is that the founding team has technical talent. But what do you do if you can't code? You may think that with no-code tools, part-time consultants, or development departments, you can bring your startup idea to life. But that way of thinking is wrong.

In this episode of Dalton & Michael, we discuss exactly why that is, and why recruiting a technical co-founder is the best way to create value for someone looking to build the next big thing.
