Hi! you're right about one thing - I have seen a LOT of people get ripped off when trying to build their product. my dad got fleeced as well. kinda why I wanted to create something that provides a real chance to people who def have great ideas and the experience to know exactly what the solution needs to look like. but are just stuck because they can't convince an engineer to become their technical co-founder to start it with them and do not have tens of thousands in $ savings to throw at their ideas. that's where I / we come in. I can build it. you can run it. |

The idea is worthless until it meets customer feedback. We know this.
So the idea gets built, and the first customer arrives, and they say "hey wouldn't it be great if it did this instead?". And if the non-technical founder is worth their salt, they'll engage with the customer and find out what the customer actually needs, and then come back to the technical side of things and say "we need to change most of this".
And then what do you do? Because if you're not in the game with the founder, skin and all, then you need to charge them another ton of cash to make those changes.
I've worked in agencies and app development shops, and the business model just doesn't work for "helping make ideas come alive". Which is why non-tech founders get fleeced - someone has to pay the devs at the end of the day, whether the idea succeeds or not. No such thing as a free lunch.
You need someone on the actual founding team who knows how to build the product.
And tbh, if you're a non-technical founder who can't persuade or fund an engineer to build your idea, then maybe your idea isn't that great.
