Technical co-founder essential or not?

Dear reader, the internet has a lot of different viewpoint on whether to get a technical co-founder for your startup or not in the initial phase. There are very successful companies that did not have technical co-founders. I would like to avoid it (for an app-based startup) and keep the founder team very small. What's your take on that? Who started up without a technical co-founder and would like to share his/her experience? I appreciate all comments.
