Hi guys,

I was just wondering if you were someone who had little to no grounding in tech as a founder of a tech (mobile app) company. Would you direct your efforts into CS/learning how to program or would you develop your business acumen / softer skills, potentially considering an MBA in marketing? I have no intention of writing the program but hope to find a tech confounder who would or at least be able to liaise with a dev team.

TIA

    I had a friend who had zero tech skills, absolutely none. And he did great in his little app. By little, his revenues were about $400K per year, had $50K in expenses. He is the only employee. He just outsourced the programming and other stuff. My friend didn’t even go to university. High school grad. Very smart in business, though.

    You don’t have to be a technical savant to be a CEO. You just have to be able to not get ripped off by a person who says that they know tech and take your money and don’t give you your finished product.

    If your mobile app is narrowly focused and not complex, I wouldn’t even get a tech co-founder. Just outsource it. But I don’t know enough about what you are doing.

    Just make sure you have the bona fides of the person you hire.
