FWIW years ago I googled "technical co-founder", realized I was the butt end joke of the industry, and have been working my ass off at front-end since. Now contract as a dev / TPM as well. Have made myself useful.

Learning to program meant I was another voice in conversations about what could be done, which instructed what was done.

My advice is learn to implement your ideas alongside of everything else you are doing.
