If you've got passion for your business, and understand what needs to be done, you could be well on your way.

You may get into the YC, you might not. But one good thing about it is that if the idea is sound, and they think you've got the right stuff to run the business, then YC could probably do some introductions to hackers to get the technology built.

I am assuming here that you have some understanding of the technology, it might be a tough sell if you have no technical abilities at all.

As a bit of inspiration, I wasn't a hacker two years ago. But when Pandora was blocked from Canada I built a replacement service (took about 8 months - i had to shutter it 'cause it was costing too much). But with the resouces online, if you have the drive, it can be accomplished.

After shutting the music service, i created a live music search engine www.hearwhere.com.

I wish I had the skills of a designer ;), the point is don't give up, if you love your idea, you can do it.

Thank you! I like the site you have.

We do have a little technical side to us but nothing like what you possess. Just the basics and we know how to play around with code, but not write code from scratch.
