How do you start a tech startup as a non-technical person?
Introduction
If you're reading this, the odds are that you're not a technical person. You might be a non-technical person who has dreams of starting a startup and wants to learn how to code. Or maybe you want to learn about coding so that you can create better apps for yourself or your organization. Either way, we think it's important to encourage people like us who don't have any experience building technically challenging products from scratch--and who might not even know where to start! So here are five tips for how anyone can start their own tech startup:
Be specific
The first thing you should do is define your problem. If you don't know what the problem is, how can you solve it?
Then, define your solution. What are the things that need to be done differently in order for your business model to work?
Next, define your target audience and their needs as well as how they will benefit from using your product or service (or not). This will help inform all other decisions about marketing strategy, pricing and sales strategies etc., which we'll talk about later on in this article series!
Be patient
It's important to be patient with yourself and your idea. You can't expect to come up with an idea that's perfect, then expect everything else in your life to fall into place. It will take time for you and everyone around you (your team, investors, customers) to develop trust in each other's abilities before things get rolling.
If this is something that interests you as a career path or an option for a side hustle after work hours are done each day—that's great! But if starting a tech company isn't on the top of your list right now... don't worry: there are other ways of making money online without having any technical experience at all!
Make sure you have a dream and passion
Dreaming is important. It's not a destination, it's a journey.

Start with a small step
Start with a small step.
Start with a small goal.
Start with a small project.
Start with a small product or service that solves your problem and makes money for you, but also has the potential to scale into something bigger (and keep on growing).
This can be as simple as starting your own blog or podcast, or even just doing some writing work for other people's blogs and websites, as long as it works toward making more money than you're spending on it in terms of time spent creating content and editing drafts before publishing them online. Other examples include creating an ebook using self-publishing tools such as Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) which allows authors to distribute their ebooks directly onto Amazon's website; creating landing pages around keywords related to the topic of interest; writing guest posts on relevant topics for sites like LinkedIn Pulse where people are searching for information about specific things such as "best resumes" etc.; providing consulting services around specific areas within technology management where clients need help solving problems related specifically towards what they're trying do better than anyone else currently doing so out there today!

Start with a small step: You don't need to be an expert in everything from day one. The most important thing is that you have the idea and see it through until it’s finished. Then, if there's anything left over after all of your hard work, then go back again until everything looks perfect!
Be specific: Don't just think about "how big" things should be; instead think about how many people will use them or what kind of user experience they'll provide their users with (i.e., mobile app vs website). This way when thinking about what type of business model would work best for your startup idea—you'll know exactly where each part fits into its larger picture so nothing gets lost in translation when making decisions later on down road(s).
Conclusion
If you’re still feeling a little unsure, don’t be discouraged. You can start by learning how to code or building apps, but don’t feel like you have to do everything on your own. There are plenty of resources out there that are dedicated to helping non-tech entrepreneurs get started with their tech startup ideas and dreams.
