What is your opinion of new technical SOLO founders with working MVPs merging with failing non technical YC startups to gain their crews? That’s kind of a lopsided arrangement where the solo founder has more bargaining power. What kind of cap chart arrangements should be made to be fair? And any other random advice you have on this subject.

If I am not a technical cofounder, should I wait until I learn how to build the app myself(which will take months due to existing commitments arising from financial situations) and then get a technical cofounder or should I get a technical cofounder and start building without learning how to code myself although I only bring designing skill, idea and hard work to the table? Mind you, I have never done marketing or sales before.
