From Idea to Launch: The Startup Founder's Technical Roadmap
A practical guide for non-technical founders on choosing the right stack, hiring the right team, and avoiding costly mistakes.
Most startup failures are not due to lack of market need — they are caused by slow execution, poor technology choices, and running out of runway before achieving product-market fit.
Step 1: Before writing a single line of code, spend two weeks talking to 20+ potential customers about their problem.
Step 2: Define your MVP ruthlessly. Your MVP is not your final product — it is the smallest thing that can validate your riskiest assumptions.
Step 3: Choose a technology stack based on speed of development and available talent, not on what is fashionable.
