Does not being a hacker make you less desirable in YC's eyes?
If you're not a hacker and dont have any idea about programming, does that make you less desirable in YC's eyes?

When you say "not hackers" does that mean you still only have an idea for a site, or that you aren't familiar with programming, but are still moving along with the site? i.e. are paying someone to do the programming for you?
Yeah my partner and I arent't very experienced programmers, but (like everyone with an idea) we think our idea is awesome. We are looking to partner with a third party on the programming side.
We've funded one company started by non-hackers, but they had studied science in college, so they understood technical matters.
I studied Networking in college for a few semesters, so I have a pretty good understanding tech matters. I just want to make sure that just because we're not hackers the possibilities of us being funded don't go down.
