What skills (tech and non-technical) and connection do you think I must have to work in a early stage startup?

Tom, Thanks for the awesome feedback, we agree it seems like a dating app, and we'll have to work hard to overcome any awkwardness and craft the best experience possible. Our focus is on finding Coders in Silicon Valley, but our big idea is much much bigger. Hope we can solve all the problems you've brought up.
> but our big idea is much much bigger. Tell us more!
Guys, I'm a brazilian eager to work for a startup. I'm still in school, but I would not care to make a six month sabbatical, to work on a startup. What skills (tech and non-technical) and connection do you think I must have to work in a early stage startup?
Hope we can help you find a great startup in the future!

Thanks! Those are known issues but we'll work on it! We will build an Android version for sure, but it's just one guy right now. :)
Totally understand :) I'd say I'd like to help, but it's been 5 years since I've used any Java. My only decent languages are scripting ones - python and php as well as JavaScript (mediocre).

The startup ecosystem in Brazil is growing nicely. I would suggest you get some practical experience, working on your own projects or joining some others. Just build stuff, learn as much as possible. Non-technical people just need to do anything/everything else to make the business work. Hope we can help you find a great startup in the future!

Thanks for the fast response. No doubt that I will use your software to find one.

Non-tech: Not much, you have just to show that your are ambitious and somebody who gets things done (or finishs them)
With good technical knowledge you do not need connections. Just get familiar with a technology, you like build some nice private projects and apply/go to networking events.
Regarding tech: demand for iOS devs is always high, Anroid too and for the web stack I'd recommend either Python/Django or Node.js/Express which are both easy to learn
The earlier you start the better, so go for it!
Something like:

If you look at how the word 'artifice' is used, it is generally negative, associated with being overly clever for the purposes of pretense, or generally false/insincere.
So if I'm not sure the job title 'software artificer' even parses. 'A person who writes unnecessarily ornate/impractical software.'
I hope I can write in whatever job title I want. It will be 'guy who may not have shaved in a couple of days, has had too much caffeine, and is grumbling incoherently at his laptop screen.'
