I am looking for on advice on how technical does a technical co-founder have to be.

Is my background enough?

My experience:

- MEng Engineering Maths (learnt MATLAB, Java, C, Prolog and Haskell as well as Linux)

- Software engineer >2years (Java, SQL, Linux)

- Quantitative analyst ~2.5 years (VBA and Excel)

- Investment professional ~4 years (Excel)

In my spare time I've been learning React.js, node/javascript and GraphQL. I've been building an MVP with Graph.cool as the backend. I'm also okay in python.

So am I Technical enough to be a Technical Co-founder? I have a potential non-technical co-founder lined up to start the business with.
