The Non-Technical Founder: How a 16-Year Old Built a Six Figure Software Company Without Writing any Code

Product Description

Everyone has an idea that they think is
the next big thing. The problem is, it’s probably an app or software idea and most people probably don’t know how to code and their record for managing programmers is little to none. Even if they do know how to code, they’re not quite sure how to get their first one thousand customers.
The Non-Technical Founder walks readers through the stages of validating whether their
next big thing is good, bringing the idea to life, and getting those first customers.

In the book, you’ll find snippets from exclusive interviews. The founders and co-founders of multi-million dollar software companies such as Hot Jar, BuzzSumo and Unbounce share raw, uncut advice from their journeys. The CEO of Upwork explains the mindset you need to have when running a company built on hundreds of freelancers and the founder of 1366 Technologies talks about the mindset you need when making deals in the range of hundreds of millions of dollars. Outside of software, we hear from a social media expert from the Denver Broncos and even talk about dealmaking with the founder of Van Halen’s publisher.
