Description
Everyone has an idea that they think is
the next big thing. The problem is, it's probably an app or software idea and most people probably don't know how to code and their record for managing programmers is little to none. Even if they do know how to code, they're not quite sure how to get their first one thousand customers.
The Non-Technical Founder walks readers through the stages of validating whether their
next big thing is good, bringing the idea to life, and getting those first customers.
