Aspiring noob hacker mom applying to YC?

Hi guys,

Aspiring hacker mom here. I'm looking for advice on how to get into YC. The problem (other than the obvious) is that I am not a coder. I have always worked in C-suite jobs in software companies. So why YC? Because I have a scaleable biz idea I've been working on that is ready for some real testing.

I've been learning to code (C and Swift) and I can create an OK website. Yah, I can hear you laughing. All good. But I am not attempting to be the coder, just want to create a version of my product that can be proved. I may not worthy to post here, but I think a stint at YC could be a critical breakthrough.

Is it insane to apply with my non-coding sales partner and my limited, lame coding skills - is there any advice you can give us?
