I refer to myself as the non-technical co-founder all the time. I'm a male, and the CEO of our company. In my personal experience, I've never heard anyone equate "non-technical co-founder" to a term used only by female founders.

I also find that many of the entrepreneurs and founders I meet are incredibly humble (disarmingly so - the founders of Dropbox and Airbnb have zero ego). I don't know if there's any YC alumn who would say that Jessica is anything less than essential within YC.
