As a non-techie, If you want to launch a successful tech startup your goal shouldn’t be to learn how to code and create your own app. Your goal should be to learn how to build the right team and implement the right processes to execute your idea. Then you need to go to market as fast as possible so you don’t miss out on the market opportunity.

Join us for a FREE 60 minute online masterclass and learn what non-technical founders need to know to launch a successful tech startup.

You will learn:

1. The one most important skill that you must have in the early stages of your startup to be successful

2. Why it’s so hard to find a technical co-founder or CTO and what you should do instead to get your idea off the ground

3. Two money-saving skills you need in order to test ideas without engaging a developer

4. How to define your MVP properly to reduce the cost and time required to develop your app

5. The importance of process

and more!

Please come with your questions and scenarios.
