Non tech founders - have you searched for some development basics before starting your thing?

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

I’m looking for a bit of insight here, from non technical managers of all sorts: founders, project managers or anything in between.

I am developer who was tech PM in a couple of previous companies.
While there I saw that my non-tech colleague PMs sometimes needed just a hint of how something worked to up their game a lot (often times they were better PMs than me, it was the tech part that was making me valuable in some situations).

I’ve had this idea since then, but never explored it.

I am wondering if there is a need/search for some basic understanding for development things from non tech managers. Maybe an 1on1 session or video course is hidden in there.

If you are a non technical founder, how did you select your first technical person (being that cofounder, employee or partnering company)?
Did someone do that for you?

Thanks in advance.
