I am also building up a team right now as well. I do not think its enough to say that you are the CEO/Founder. Leading by example, and having skin in the game is critical. The CEO needs to have enough technical skills to be able to build a MVP and relate to his CTO and engineers.
There are literally thousands of idea people needing developers/CTOs in the valley now. Pick a challenging problem that you're solving in a unique enough way and never look back.
I share your opinion and thank you for this clear response, but I do have a technical background. All the instruments that I play right now (HTML/CSS and RoR) I taught myself. But I am still miles away from building a MVP that enthuse audiences the way it should be. ;)
