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
As an early stage/pre-revenue startup, every time I talk about money my technical cofounder is like “eh, I dont really want to give up any equity” or “I think we are good, I can do X,Y, and Z so I dont see any need for immediate help.” I respect that attitude, and I definitely agree with it to an extent! But the biggest killer of startups is running out of money. Making sure we have money, have a steady flow of money, and have easy access to money is hugely important.
That being said, its always good to have someone to keep you in check. Just because its on the table doesnt mean you have to take it.
