If you have expertise in a field far removed from programming, the downside is that you're less likely to know programmers to start a company with. But there's also some upside. Your field's distance from programming may mean there are more unexploited ideas left.

So don't be too demoralized if you have startup ideas and no way to implement them. All you have to do is learn some programming and start engaging with your local tech community. That's work, but it's easier than the local programmers learning about your field.

If you're a student at CMU, you don't need to. Just engage with your fellow students.

I now realize that my bio might be a bit misleading. I'm at UVA, just doing research at CMU haha. Although, I understand your point and how it applies more generally to college. What about for product validation? Once I have an MVP what is the best way to get initial feedback?

The best way to get feedback is to try to convince users to sign up for it and (if applicable) pay you.
