I keep looking at the jobs listed at YC's jobs section and I don't remember seeing any job for non-engineers. Is my observation right? How will the management positions filled?
Do YC funded companies hire non-technical people at all?

#3YC companies definitely hire non-engineers. But often the first few hires will be engineers; at Zencoder, we were 7 engineers and 1 business/office manager before we hired for sales/marketing.
We're currently looking for a marketing manager. http://zencoder.com/jobs/

There are certainly fewer non-technical positions posted, but there are some. For example, ZeroCater has posted customer support and sales openings.

Thanks for the info! I understand that the number of engineer posts will be large in comparison to Analysts/Sales/Marketing/HR. Good to know though.
