Not everyone needs to code in a startup. It's good to have someone that is more inclined to bizdev than hacking.
You should however be familiar with the hacker's arsenal of tools like Trac, Subversion, Eclipse, etc.
The first order of business in a startup is to build something that people want (after PG). More and more that something should solve some real business problem - not just another me-too social network .
I'd think your economics background could be put to good use in today's climate. Do feel that you have to be a coder - but find someone that can. You'll have a good team.
