On: Ask HN: Best way to build a SaaS product for a non-tech founder

[senttoschool]

Find a CTO as a co-founder. Do not do anything else.

If your idea is actually good, it shouldn't be that hard to find a CTO in today's environment because a lot of engineers have been laid off with nice severance packages.

Yes, but my concern is that the problem I am trying to solve won't make a unicorn but surely make a few million dollar business. I wonder if this would be exciting enough for a tech co-founder. What do you think?

Share your idea here and provide your contact information, and technical people here will respond.

If you can't sell your idea to a co-founder, you can't sell your product to customers.

[amitgupta6 → senttoschool]

Do not fully agree here. You can choose not to have a tech co-founder and still make a decently successful business. Customers care only if their problem is getting solved. Rarely they care about the how part.

[senttoschool → amitgupta6]

If you can't convince a single engineer that your idea is good enough to invest in, you can't sell your product to customers.

[amitgupta6 → senttoschool]

As I said, it's not about convincing someone whether my idea is good. It's a deliberate choice I am making to not have a CTO.
