Hey HN,

I’ve spent the past year+ developing a course aimed at a group I've noticed is underserved: non-technical founders looking to launch tech startups. It’s called "From 9-5 to Tech Founder – No Coding Skills Required," and it distills everything I learned from my 10 years career as a Software engineer for startups and Big Silicon Valley based companies.

The course is designed to take someone with a strong idea but little to no tech background from concept to launch. It covers:

Idea validation: Ensuring your idea solves a real problem. MVP creation: Using no-code tools to build your first product. Customer engagement: How to talk to users and iterate based on feedback. Intro to tech: Basic coding principles to help you work effectively with developers. Building and launching: Crafting landing pages, handling pre-orders, and more. Given the depth of experience and insight in this community, I'd particularly value your feedback:

What are the biggest challenges you’ve seen non-technical founders face? Any essential topics you think a course like this should cover? For those interested, there’s a pre-order available https://wwwsubtledev.co.

Would love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions!
