I am told that to start a company I need to stop thinking like an engineer but I feel that I need to perfect the features and do research on what will work. What am I doing wrong?
I am not a founder but I have some close friends who have tried their hands at doing something of their own. While me trying vs watching someone do it are two completely different things but I have gist of things that worked for them and what did not.
While coding your own product is not absolutely necessary but knowing how it is built and high level designs of implementation definitely helps.
A lot of people from non tech backgrounds start their own product and become successful as well, (airbnb founders are prime example of that) but still it’s highly advice-able you atleast own atleast one if not more (sales, marketing, tech) core features/verticals of your product. It will help you in taking good decisions going forward. Might also help you in onboarding people who are right fit for that role.
Early age startup founders mostly struggle with onboarding people on the same idea. So unless you don’t have some revenue/results to back your hypothesis don’t go out pitching your idea to random people. No matter how good your idea is someone will come back saying this won’t work. That’s why people usually go on build stuff internally/close friend groups.
I am right now in position of hiring anyone, and not and expert in coding, but guess I need to get it started. Thank you for your inputs. Appreciate it.
No worries man, best of luck.
Don't need to code from scratch on day 1. Use no code and low tech solutions as much as possible until you scale.
Can you suggest any no code solution for app.
