Are you considering building a tech startup?

Are you thinking about building out a Saas platform?

Is your dream to create a recurring monthly service offering that is online and provides great monthly value? (What entrepreneur is not thinking of creating this kind of service these days?)

Is your problem, you are just not a coder?

Read on.

Here are multiple successful scenarios in building a tech startup, that I have witnessed:

  1. Build it yourself as the developer.
    I’ve seen this work in certain cases. Usually, the developer, like Craig from Craig’s List has more experience than just using TikTok. By the way, Craig from Craig’s List worked in Boca Raton for IBM prior to his success. Overall I give this a 10% chance of succeeding as a startup. That’s because the tech guy, if he is doing everything himself, often does not know how to sell his product or service. Tech guys (I have been one), are building tech for many reasons, every day of the week, and most of it is not for sale…. If you have succeeded in building out a tech company and you were solely the tech person, then I applaud you, especially if it were your first time. But often there is previous failures and successes, so it’s not so simple.
