That's what I wanted to know myself. I don't live in the bay area, although I have plans to move there if I started my venture. The problem is that from what I read in YC, angels and VCs such as PG seems to hate non-tech founder with passion.
I think at this point you are getting ahead of yourself. Keep iterating on your prototype and when your technical skills are maxed out, find a co-founder with the skills you need.
