Places are filling fast, and we would love to see you there.
Big thanks to Ninefold for sponsoring the
Hi,
Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback. It seems as if there is also
a need for helping the techies look for what is required from a business
partner too.
I am aiming for the beginning of April. Will keep the group posted as soon
as I have a venue and a date. In the meantime let me
Keep me posted Steve.
I've heard the argument before that business founders should just 'learn
how to code' and tech founders should just 'learn how to sell'. The reality
is that very few people are good at both.
I've also come across the mentality from tech founders that if they just
build a

You're quite correct in your observations and its very much an
Australian thing in that a person is expected to do everything.
When I was in the States I never encountered that.
The lure to overseas is that you can get a factory/business with a
team if your idea is good enough. That
Great topic! Certainly keen to be in the audience... Would be
excellent if it could happen over SydStart week, when some of us will
be in Sydney - presuming that's where you're based.

This is a sensational topic.
Being a techie myself and in pursuits of a non-tech co-founder, I am often
finding a mismatch of understandings, vision and timeframes.
Despite the difficulties it is STILL my opinion that having a diversity of
skills within a company sets the foundation for the
I think this is a winning idea Steve.
I think also that a lot of non-techies are pretty clueless when it comes to
understanding the actual development process for a web app or mobile app.
Plenty of the non-tech founders I've spoken to had never even heard of

Hey Steve,
As a non techie, I think people would DEFINITELY be interested in
this!
