If you look at the successful entrepreneurs, you would see most people started without any experience in their industries. For example, prior to Tesla and SpaceX, Musk had no experience running these electric motor company or space program. However, he did powerful idea and a vision about the future of electric car and reusable rocket. Same goes with Jeff Bezos, he did not have any experience running internet business..

Having experience in related field certainly helps hut what matters most is having a great idea and working towards that idea.
