Ask HN: Can young entrepreneurs with no coding experience launch a startup?

Here's my situation, briefly:

A few months ago, I watched customers deal with a widespread problem in what was my industry at that time.

I researched the idea fully for a week or so and found a few services that solved similar problems. I could only ever find one blog post (someone offering up the idea) with more or less the exact idea.

For the next few weeks, I mocked up the idea, wireframed the pages, and generally envisioned how this would work and refined the business model. I asked a few people with relevant industry experience for their suggestions, and made a few minor tweaks on the mock-ups. A dozen industry leaders have already pledged to me that, if I can deliver what I have mocked up, they will definitely be interested in a long-term relationship with my company.

This idea is nearly unique (and its proposed execution definitely has not been done before), but the technology required to execute on it is not particularly complicated.

I had hoped that in the next few months, I could familiarize myself with Ruby on Rails and code this thing myself. As I look ahead, though, I'm realizing that it would be a good idea to have someone on the team who is familiar with other technical aspects of the company - like handling the servers, the bugs, et cetera.

I would love to focus on business development, networking, sales, general admin tasks and marketing, since I have experience running my own (non-technical) businesses in the past. Unfortunately, young start-up founders all seem to be programmers who brought on gray-haired entrepreneurs.

I'm wondering where I should go from here.
