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

    The first job of non tech founder is to pick up the phone, get out of the office and get customers. No MBA needed and likely a net negative for 0-1 phase. You do not need ‘strategy’ at this phase, but rather a massive willingness to hustle get a million no’s and still keep going. You know what good training for this is? Make a simple website with a biz concept and try and get 100 people to sign up. Even pick a biz concept so crazy compelling (free flights to Thailand on demand) and see if you can get users to sign up for that. You will see how hard it is but also learn how to tap into different channels.
