What does "non-technical" mean, really?
I always wonder what someone means by it, because I may well (once done with my current project) decide to start a startup as a solo founder. And I'm "aspiringly-technical," let's say. I studied math in college, but only started programming more recently.
This article was reassuring, in a sense, because at the very least I qualify as a "technically-literate non-technical person." But I'd like to be more than just technically literate.
- snowwrestler 14y agoIf you build the product yourself (write the code yourself), you are a technical founder. If you don't write the code yourself, you will need to partner with or hire someone who can. That would make you a nontechnical founder. To use a famous example, Woz was the technical founder, while Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne were nontechnical founders.
