That tip on hiring a technical advisor once a week is a GREAT one! It doesn't only save you time, you'll be sure you have someone more versed in that world than you are.

You have contributed so much to me. Thank you! As a non technical founder, I've relied on videos like yours coupled with hiring on fiverr. I've worked with wonderful creative developers from India, Indonesia, Ghana and more! My biggest take away is the process of brining in an adviser and the tools we can use to audit our process and protect what we're building. Thank you again!

This mate knows what he is talking about. I got in an accelerator program charge me 20k in return of giving me to pitching night in order to raise money for the MVP. I’m the middle of the way they ask me for another 40k to do the predev work (task flow and user flow). Now I’m stuck (coz I will not pay them 40k after blindsiding me). But yea I’m stuck in the middle. I will find a way around it. It will just take some extra time

Hello Dan. Thank you for your advice and insights. As a non technical founder currently overseeing the building of a consumer app. This video is very informative. It manages to address many of the concerns that I have had, but didnt know how to not only put it into words. But how to structure some of it and put it in a list form.

Very useful thank you as I had no idea about CICD pipeline ++. Luckily I have a technical partner who is investing his teams time but I do have a consultant to provide an overview

Great video Dan. As a developer I am exploring going into coaching or advisement. I've done some on the side for friends and friend of friends. This video reminded me of insights I knew about, but need to bring to the table when coaching others. Do you have videos/articles/etc you would recommend taking a look? Thanks in advance
