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

    Connections and influence which most technical people focus less on.

    If you have those, it usually signals to people that you know your stuff around people.

    This is the reason why people choose to get their MBAs in prestigious business school.

    While you may not need technical details to build a successful company but knowing the technicalities puts you in a better position as a leader, especially when you’re trying to influence a tech person.

    Maybe you don’t know the internal workings of an app but you know that your tech counterpart is bullshitting you when they tell you that you need ten and thousands of engineers to run a certain bird app.

    Or that you know that someone is overengineering stuff and delaying shipping.
