I don't want you to take this personally, so I'm just going to dispense the standard advice for people with great ideas but without someone capable of building them: great ideas are a dime a dozen, and anyone with the ability and inclination to be a "tech cofounder" probably has their own ideas. Building your skills and making sure you have something to contribute other than a "great idea" is the best way to get something accomplished.

He could have skills and just neglected to mention them.

No, because then he would not have said he was without someone capable of building it.

It's possible to have skills, connections, experience, etc. to contribute to a startup without knowing how to build software.

My personal background is mechanical engineering and my idea is a B2C online business. My skills is more on the side of contract negotiations and physical implementation which is relevant to my idea.

Thanks for warning me though, I will definitely try to develop as well as possible
