I disagree with _every_ response so far, which boil down to either a) hire a coder or b) learn to code.
Most businesses that get programmed up are bad. Nobody cares about them and they fail. That's okay if you are a solo hacker because the loss is minimal compared to the learning you get. From your situation, it's a terrible deal (you either sank lots of time or money to get there).
I recommend you dive into customer development (start by reading Steve Blank's 4 Steps book). You can get through all of discovery and part of validation without writing a single line of code (that takes you through "steps" 1 & 2 - most startups never get to step 3, which is profitably scaling the customer base).
Odds are good that your ideas are bad ("bad" as in "grounded in something good, but currently severely flawed"). You can discover many of those holes for free, by talking to your future customers and industry experts.
The best part is that you'll get to the point (without any code) of having a business you can say with some confidence will generate money if it can just get built. And you'll have the evidence (from future customers) in hand to prove it. That makes recruiting great hackers (or raising seed money and hiring them) so much easier.
Good comments ... but shouldn't he have someone technical on tap to make sure what he's proposing is feasible?
For that matter, while I haven't read Blank's book (but have lived its opposite), won't you have more credibility when you step outside the office if what you're saying is grounded in technical reality?
