Currently doing some research for a project I want to build, and I want to make sure that I'm starting by asking the right questions. So if you're a non-technical founder and you have a web/app related idea, but you haven't started building yet, what's stopping you?
Is it:
- Don't know how to code or build the product?
- Can't afford to hire a developer?
- Unsure if the idea is worth pursuing?
- Don't know where to start?
- Something else entirely?
Would love to hear what stage you're stuck at and why!
Non-technical founders: what's your biggest blocker right now?

The blocker is thinking you need code to have a product, when in reality, code is just the last step in automating a solution you’ve already proven manually.
Not a founder myself, but I help founders with developing their MVPs as a service, my 2 cents is: For most non-tech folks I’ve worked with, it’s a combo of “unsure if the idea’s worth it” and “don’t know where to start.” Validation trips people up. first talk to 10-20 potential users. Then, lean on no-code tools like Bubble or Adalo for quick prototypes to test without breaking the bank. If it validates, then hire a developer from India through upwork and go for it. Thats the best and cheapest way to do it
