152. The Non-Technical Founder's introduction to working with outsourced developers

If you have an idea for an app or a tech business, but no tech skills to build it, this episode is for you.

You will hear from Natalie Kaminski, founder of Jet Rockets, whose development company works specifically with non-technical founders.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • what insights non-technical founders have that tech founders often don't
  • how a travel agent built a tech company when Covid shut her business down
  • how to get the best ROI from working with outsourced development firms
  • how to show traction to investors even at the early stages when you have no marketing budget
