If your ambition is to run a software company, you should learn how to write software. There are many programming courses that can teach you enough to build prototype web apps in 2-3 months.

When the startup succeeds and you hire a technical team, knowing how to program will continue to make a huge difference in your ability to recruit and manage that team.
