How do app startup entrepreneurs circumvent situations where they have minimal or no backend coding experience?

Can entrepreneurs with such experience share on how they circumvent such problems?

And how does the usual app startup founder is like? One person with a business background (handling finances and seek funding) and another one with a computing background (to build on the app)?

You're not at a scale where you need an app to solve your problems. Just don't do it.
