Ask HN: Getting a job as a non-technical employee at an early stage startup

What's your experience when it comes to non-technical positions at early stage start-ups? I'm really looking for any point of view (people who have accepted positions, been rejected, ran the hiring process, etc.).<p>If you are someone who got the job or were involved in the hiring process, what were you looking for and what led you to accept someone?<p>If you are someone who was rejected, what did you do after?<p>Thanks everyone!
