There is no spoon, there is no important, silver bullet field. There is no golden standard formula creating a successful startup.
In math, 4+4=8. But, not just 4+4. You can arrive at at the same outcome in several other ways: 1+1+1+5, 2+6, 10-2, etc. When creating a startup, you want success, but there is no clear cut path to the solution.
What's important? Identify a problem. Work at it like a puzzle and create a solution. But, create a crappy solution and employ your customers to help drive the direction of your product. Don't be a yes man and don't be afraid to say no to feature suggestions.
Be passionate. If you're not passionate about building something, you'll lose motivation. If you're not motivated, find another problem and work on building a solution for that one.
Trying to come up with what is the most important field is a very open ended question. You could spend a year learning a field/technology/programming langauge and then find out you don't need it. Build something with what you know. Don't prematurely learn something. Learn enough to get started and then only learn more when you need to.
If you think you need to learn a certain field in order to get started, you're procrastinating. You'll find yourself in an endless loop of "I'll start, but only when I start learning or have mastered X."
