Whether you need a non technical founder is the wrong question to ask. Ask yourself what your business needs to succeed:
- Is it a developer or designer?
- A marketing genius?
Most businesses need some soft skills. This is where I see the non technical person coming in.
When it comes down to finding that tech person all you need to be able to do is show value. How do you demonstrate value?
* Understanding the market and problem
* Executing on previous ventures
* Connections
* Anything else that makes you stand out
Learning to code shows commitment but in general it isn't the only thing.
- mikepk 14y agoI add to the list "actually doing stuff". I meet so many want-to-be-entrepreneurs saying they just need a tech co-founder, but other than thinking really hard, that's all they're currently doing to make the venture happen. Somehow it's almost as if they think their job is managing when there's nothing yet to manage. They don't realize that their job is making the venture real, any way they can.
