Register NowLet’s be honest—building a tech startup when you’re not technical can feel like assembling a rocket ship in the dark. One wrong hire, one mismanaged development cycle, and you're out tens of thousands of dollars... with nothing to show for it.
In this session, Nelly will break down how non-technical founders can avoid costly mistakes, hire the right developers, and confidently lead their tech team—even if they’ve never written a line of code.
You’ll walk away with practical, proven strategies to move faster and build smarter, including:
-
The three essential skills every founder needs to manage developers effectively
-
A repeatable development workflow Nelly uses and teaches to deliver high-quality products on time and on budget
-
The different ways you can build your product (and how to choose the right approach for your stage)
You’ll leave with a clear roadmap to lead your dev team efficiently, avoid common pitfalls, and take control of your product journey—from idea to launch and beyond.
