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

    Depends on what you’re trying to do. If you want to be an indie hacker (that’s what the kids call em these days) and try building out a SaaS using a combo of low-code tools and basic coding, people have done that and a few have been successful. But depends on the complexity of what you want to create.

    Marketing, networking, storytelling, and sales are huge skills and if you can partner with a technical cofounder someone or find a good outsourcing option, you could focus just on those.

    I wouldn’t bother with a MBA.
