It’s Not Too Late To Stop or Avoid These Common Non-Tech Startup Founder Mistakes
#1
Skipping planning, market validation, and prototyping and instead going straight to coding
#2
Using the wrong tech stack to get started (or not even knowing what a tech stack is nor how to choose one)
#3
Burn out (or tap out) from DIY efforts (trying to learn to code it yourself)
#4
Hiring the wrong kind of freelance developer(s) to build your app
#5
Spending too much (or too little) time and money on the wrong things to create your app
#6
Delaying getting started because you don’t have a CTO or technical co-founder
#7 – BIGGEST MISTAKE…
Not leveling up your skill-set and mindset for YOUR new role as an app product owner.
Your mindset, not your budget, can be your most limiting factor to getting an app idea launched.
You’ll Launch Your App Idea Within 3 Months (And On Your Budget)
Skip (or Reduce) Your Solopreneur DIY Frustrations
Get started without learning to code, figuring out geek speak, or finding a technical co-founder/CTO. We speak plain (business) english and so should you.
Avoid Developer Hiring Struggles
Most startup founders (even technical ones) don’t realize that the first hire for app development should be a Product Manager… NOT a developer. Never waste countless hours again searching for a freelance developer to begin working on your app.
Start With a Plan That Fits YOUR Budget
You really can get started with ANY budget if you begin by working with an experienced Product Manager who can help you build a plan, roadmap, and engineering team that is tailored to your business needs.
And Here’s How To Get Started
First, take a deep breath. Right now. Seriously. Are you done? Let’s begin. Here are your steps.
Download a Planning Worksheet
Use our planning worksheet (a Google Slides template doc) to help you think through and jot down some of the key aspects of your app idea that are going to help you start thinking differently about your launch plans to make them affordable and achievable within 3 months.
Attend an App Owner Orientation Workshop
Once you’ve started your planning worksheet, register to attend one of our App Owner Orientation Workshops so you can get instant actionable advice for how to make use of and improve the plan. After the workshop, you’ll be more prepared to take next steps (of hiring us… or any team for that matter!). We will go into detail about the 7 Deadly Startup Founder Mistakes that we mentioned above and how to avoid them.
