25, business background, no coding skills, can I still be a strong startup cofounder?

I’m 25 and have spent most of my life working in traditional businesses. I currently run my own company, but the startup world has always fascinated me. I’d love to build something tech-focused and I’m starting to look for a technical cofounder.

My question is: how do you see non-technical founders today? Are they still valuable? Or are startups better off with purely technical teams in the early stages?

I’m tech-savvy and not afraid to learn to code if it’s essential, but I’m unsure whether that’s the best use of my time if I eventually find a strong technical partner. I’m just dipping my toes into this world and would love honest opinions from people who’ve been through it what would you look for in a non-technical cofounder?
