How Non-Technical Founders Can Build and Lead a Tech Startup Workshop with Nelly Yusupova

Let’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.
