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

    Don’t ignore tech completely. The most annoying thing about my co-founder is that he has no understanding of tech in a tech focused business. Don’t get me wrong. His sales expertise is the reason we have any money. His lack of tech knowledge is also the reason he failed to build a good budget to get all the features he wanted. You can take all the finance classes you want, but you’ll never be a good tech CEO if you can’t build financial plans specifically for tech.
