To "build" a start-up in to something concrete, it takes more than a geeky programmer. Don't worry about who can beat you in programming or not. As long as you show the resolve that you will make your idea in to a real company, you are in business. Keep in good contacts with all of your
non-technical buddies. When the right time comes, they
will be your chaperones.
Trust me, I had the same fear when I started out last year.
