Startup world tips to a non-tech guy

[Gil Kag]

Hey, I have no clue about coding and tech, I'm actually coming from the marketing industry.
What tips would you give to someone like me who wants to get into the startup world (which will probably require some tech knowledge and skills?)
How can I get started? What stuff do I need to learn? Is it possible to be a non-tech founder in a startup?

Thanks

Startup is not a term exclusive to the tech guys, even a mom-and-pop store can be called a startup.

A startup is a company that's in the initial stages of business.

To answer your question, build a business around your marketing skills as your 1st ever startup.
