Startups aren't as black and white for you to be able to say for every startup, there should be 1 technical founder and 1 non-technical founder and each have roles XYZ. The truth is every company is different and the roles you need to fill should be clearly understood by you and your cofounder(s). It is important to outline what key functions and skills are necessary for your company and focus on those. It is important that the collective knowledge of your founders encompass all that is necessary for your startup to be successful. For example, someone on your team will need strong industry knowledge.
