Technical Management Skills for Non-Technical Founders

This course targets a specific problem: founders building a tech startup without a technical background, who need to manage developers, evaluate solutions, and make technology decisions they can't personally code. It reframes those challenges as management questions rather than coding ones — the kind a seasoned CTO would answer using judgment and process, not hands-on programming.

Across 24 short videos, the course covers selecting a development provider, writing specifications, managing a technical team, prioritizing a roadmap for investors, maintaining product quality, building securely, and eventually transitioning from outsourced to in-house development as the company scales.

Who it's for

Non-technical startup founders and CEOs who need to direct software development without being able to evaluate code themselves.

Key takeaway

None of the skills taught require coding ability — just the technical management judgment to delegate, evaluate, and scale a product effectively.

About this course

ARE YOU BUILDING A STARTUP?

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE A TECHNICAL BACKGROUND?

You might wonder:

How do I delegate software development when I know nothing about it?
How can I know that this technical solution is better than the other?
How do I even find out if there are better solutions?
How can I choose developers or a Web agency without a technical background?
How do I trust developers or Web agencies when I can’t even evaluate their work?
How can I be sure that developers are not being misleading?
How do I manage software development? Should I use outsourcing or internal developers?
What specific techniques are there to build a startup while saving money in the early stage?

WHAT DO YOU THINK A SENIOR CTO WOULD DO?

IN THE EARLY STAGE, A CTO WOULD USE HIS TECH MANAGEMENT SKILLS TO:

Outsource the development, making it go faster with appropriate resources
Avoid paying for a full-time developer once the product becomes available
Change the developer or the agency when it’s relevant for the project
Choose several developers with particular skills instead of a general developer
Use technical experts in Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Game Design in order to create a more innovative solution

All those activities do not require any coding skills whatsoever. Just a bit of know-how and specific technical management skills.
