How Non-Technical Founders Build High-Tech Startups Without Going Broke
Three resources you’ll need to focus on to avoid an expensive failure.
It seems like anyone with an idea that includes even a brief reference to A.I. is finding their way into investor pockets to launch the machine-assisted version of any task you can think of — from A.I. for coders to A.I. for pets, the possibilities seem limitless right now.
Which, of course, means that everyone reading those kinds of stories can come up with a passable idea for a brand new, never-before-thought-of A.I. startup. And get rich.
Those people are coming to me for advice a lot right now. And that’s fine. I don’t hate this kind of thing. But I gotta warn you, there’s nothing new here.
High-tech spawns a gold rush every few years. It was the gig marketplace before A.I,, then crypto before the gig marketplace, then mobile before crypto, then social before mobile.
And I mean it goes all the way back to the wheel. Like, the actual wheel.
But again, this is not a bad thing. In fact, I’m a huge fan of the democratization of technology that allows a non-technical, usually more business-oriented founder to get their ideas into the arena of high-tech entrepreneurship.
