Question
Hey Everyone, I currently have an idea for a start up that I have been working on for about a year. I have done a lot of market research, validation, and I have a launch page setup that people have gone to and signed up for my mailing list. I am currently in high school so I am on summer break right now and would really like to get something going on my time off. I do have money saved up to hire freelance web developers if i have to.
What would you recommend I do next? Learn to code myself, hire a freelancer web developer, work on finding a tech co founder, or any other suggestions.
Thanks!
Answer
Basically you don't necessarily need to code to get your startup off the ground. You can do further steps like :
1.Talk to potential customers: This is crucial. Use tools like social media to connect with people who might be interested in your product or service. Ask them questions about their problems and what solutions they'd like to see. This will help you refine your idea and make sure there's a real need for it
2.Find a co-founder with technical skills: If your idea requires a technical product, look for a co-founder who can code or develop your vision. You can find potential co-founders through online communities, meetup groups, or co-working spaces.
3.Hire freelancers or an agency: If you don't find a co-founder, you can hire freelance developers or an agency to build your product. This can be a good option if you have a clear idea of what you need but don't have the budget to hire a full-time developer.
