As a number of other posters have mentioned, "starting a company" is basically finding customers willing to pay for a solution you can provide and then ensuring that enough of them pay for you to continue to operate the business. For a subset of businesses you might have an intermediate step of selling the vision to investors to get them to provide funding, but at its heart starting a business is identifying a problem you can solve and persuade enough customers to pay for (either directly or indirectly if you're trying ad or partnership supported). If you don't want to do that, the odds are not in your favor that the business will be successful.There are exceptions where a technologist builds an amazing technology and happens to accrete enough people around it to "do the boring stuff", but it is way more common that they'll build something awesome and nobody will ever know because they don't market and sell it effectively.
