Do YC funded companies hire non-technical people at all?
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?

YC 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/
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.
Dropbox doesn't post much to the YC listing, but we are hiring for basically everything: http://www.dropbox.com/jobs
You can email me directly if you have any questions too: ivan@dropbox.com
Thanks for that Ivan! I sure will look into the listing and email you if I have questions.

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