Would love to connect with other non-technical founders!
I'm certainly in that camp. You can check out my story on IH about how I co-founded Web4Realty.
Introduce yourselves. Non-technical founders, stand-up!
Hey friends, I'm also a non-technical founder who founded a company helping other non-tecnical folks launch startups without code :) check out our most recent article on the topic here https://www.indiehackers.com/@Levon/how-to-build-your-mvp-without-a-technical-co-founder-and-without-code-d8144e3077
Hey Non techs - I run a platform www.nocode.tech which is a free site aimed at non technical entrepreneurs. I have hundreds of tried and tested tools and resources I have personally curated. I also have a great Slack community and members area which includes exclusive discount codes for some products! Any questions give me a shout! Awesome to see so many fellow non -techs on IH 👏🏻
That's a great resource, I have it bookmarked!
Keep it up.
Hi I am a non-technical founder! I am working on developing and proving a new concept that is similar to Yelp and Groupon. Nice to meet everyone.
Hey! Here a non-tech. Learning some coding, but focusing on non-tech work most of the time.
I was working on online therapy platform linhub.co but now looking to pivot and probably reuse some of the development for the next mvp. I'm starting to promote peer advisory groups for entrepreneurs and see what happens. It's an itch I want to scratch! Would appreciate some feedback. Here's the signUp link -> http://bit.ly/linhub-advisory
Hi Franco. Sounds interesting. Have there been any meetings yet, or are you still collecting signups?
No meeting yet! Still collecting subscribers and feedback!
Hi there! One more non-tech founder here. Had a social media agency before my startup and now building https://planable.io/ to help brands and agencies collaborate on social media content.
SO great to meet everyone and see there's a strong non-tech community here :)
Thanks for sharing, great app! Nice meeting you, Xenia!
Hi there, I am a sales/marketing guy with bits of front-end dev. Currently freelancing and working on sales consultancy business & sharing some crypto knowledge at www.cryptoda.sh 🔮
I am looking for a technical founder as well to help continue development. I currently have an active mobile app called Nodat available on ios and android. I have accumulated 21k downloads and at the moment retaining only 8200 with 705 MUAs. I have only launched my product in one city. I have developed a new cool update to the mobile application as well as a self-serve backend system for businesses to use to advertise and market their businesses. I have not launched that system yet but looking for new team members.
Hi everyone! Another non-technical founder here. I'm co-founder of Geocodio (https://geocod.io/). We make geocoding and data matching hassle-free and affordable. I come from a product background.
I'm a non-technical co-founder. Working on building a new approach to outsourcing for platforms specifically. Nothing to show for it yet, other than a few wireframes, but hopefully soon.
Hi :) Non-technical founder here (but I know a bit about code, basics on html/css/js + RoR and now learning solidity).
I do growth marketing consulting and https://instagrowth.ninja
Looking for a technical founder with a growth mindset to launch a marketing SaaS in 2018 :)
That's great, thanks for sharing!
Non-technical founder here. :) I mean I know enough code to make technical SEO recommendations to clients. But I'm not a developer, which is most often what people mean when they ask that question.
Non-technical founder in the building! #andanotherone
Hello :)
I have a background in music business & journalism - founded a local music blog 10+ years ago, sold it (first blog sold in Romania - my home country), switched sides - started promoting indie hip-hop artists. Oh, and a short detour as a content marketer for a Copenhagen based cyber security startup.
"Divorced" music business last summer and started working on a few things that are closer to my personality and values:
Been lurking on IH for a long time, until last week never had the courage to start getting involved in the conversation.
Trying not to let the non-tech part frustrate me (I'm the independent type, so I hate having my hands tied).
In case I didn't scare everyone already: nice to meet you. :D
Hi Cristina. Love the hustle and commitment to your passions. Keep it up!
Hey Kosta, just read your story - amazing achievement! With the whole non-technical founder thing I'm sort of in the middle.
My background is in IT, so I live and breathe tech and understand the fundamentals of coding, but I don't actually code.
I teamed up with my brother who codes, to work on Unubo, which we're launching soon.
Hi Leandro. Thanks for reading! Best of luck on the launch, don’t stop the hustle!
Hi Kosta. I’m familiar with tech from the perspective of “IT” but I’m into building a productized service in the marketing world...so not a coder here....but appreciate what they do!!!
(Hopefully I'm not too late)
Hey everyone, another non-tech here. I teamed up with freelancers to build Nujible, a unique Apple Watch app that uses haptic vibrations to help you stay focused. I finally got it to the App Store but now I am learning the techniques to marketing my work. (My least favorite part so far).
I am actually taking a Ruby on Rails course right now, so hopefully I will be able to take on more tasks myself in the future. The good thing about being a non-tech is that you get to learn a bit of everything ;)
Sounds like an interesting app. Keep it up!
Yes, hi! A non-coder and non-designer bootstrapping here :)
So much reward and long-term value in bootstrapping. Keep it up!
Hey :) I am one of them too. Running a productized service which does not require a lot of code right now. I do have a CTO because we're building tools to better understand our user requirements and tastes and better streamline our operations.
Hey Kosta, non-techie checking in!
Hi Michael. Nice to meet another non-techie! 🙌🏼
I'm currently building Salesflix which is a collection of the best videos segmented by stage in the sales cycle.
Who are some of your favourite sales coaches/trainers?
To be honest, I don't really follow any sales coaches/trainers. Everything I learned about sales is self-taught, and a lot of real life A/B testing and trying new techniques. I read a few sales books when I was first starting out as well:
Little Red Book of Selling
Telesales Tips from the Trenches
Close Like the Pros
Fair enough mate. Good choice of books!
Great job so far, happy to connect! I'm working on Taskade, a real-time team productivity app.
Nice work on Taskade, very clean! Nice meeting you.
Thanks, and likewise!
I have a background in front-end web design, but mainly HTML/CSS, so I consider myself non-technical for the web-app (guestboard.co) I'm building. Currently working with a great dev shop, but searching for someone local in Los Angeles to potentially partner up with instead!
Agree with T.D. Bryant, among all the other hats you need to wear, it's important to know what technologies are being used and why. TBH, it's something I need to spend more time on , so thanks for the push! :)
Hi Peter. Would have loved to have been able to use guestboard.co for my wedding two years ago! Great stuff.
Nice to meet you!
Hi Kosta - I am non-technical founder right now. However, I am learning if you want to build a technology related company, then you have to understand the fundamentals of tools you are using.
My name is Timothy Bryant but I go by "TD". I started an Application Development Studio called Dot Interactive. Right now I am creating a web app called "ManualShift" that helps organizations create useful documentation. I also am creating some iOS apps.
Good one TD. I am curious to know how do you find clients? I also run a dev shop myself but things are moving quite slow.
Hi Emekaonu - I get most of my clients from referral.
Nice to meet you TD. That sounds awesome, great work!
