I'm wondering who has had success hiring non-tech people from HN who's hiring or jobs. What does the typical person look like? Experience, background, etc...<p>How valuable is non-technical experience to your start-up and what value do you see them bringing? Also, what is the most valuable skill set for a non-tech employee?
Hustle is the most valuable skill for a non tech employee. Working hard is not enough. Working smart is equally important.
Usually they have a background in marketing, biz dev or a combination of both is killer.
