My advice for anyone looking to get an idea off the ground without any particular skillset is to get a particular skillset.
It’s not impossible to raise VC money, but if you wish to have some success, you’ll have to either understand how to design the product, code it, or be really good at sales / marketing. Those are the 3 most critical skills to turn an idea into business. Best to have all 3, but 2 can work, and sometimes one.
Approaching people to do any of these things for you is going to be really difficult. Not impossible, but super difficult. Design takes time. Code takes even more time. Sales … well, nobody can do that for you unless you are flush with cash to hire out - but that’s almost always a terrible idea when just getting started.
