I was once preparing to be the ultimate non-technical cofounder. Then disaster struck my life, and then I learned to program. In any case, here was the skill set I wanted:

- Has tried a startup before and failed because he didn't have enough tech talent (check)

- Exposed to I.P. law at Stanford Law School (as undergrad)

- Experience cold-calling alumni for donations (for selling) (check)

- Studied economics (check), game theory

- Deep knowledge of fundraising process

- Design, typography, statistics, etc.
