You could be a good writer or designer. Video skills can be useful. Research skills can also be useful.

I'd agree with designer and possibly video, but I count those as technical skills depending on the type of startup.

Writing and research, I think, have to be bundled with other skillsets at the very early stages. If you have 2-3 people, you can't have a pure writer or researcher.
