Tech for Non-Techies

REPLAY: Get funded as a Non-Technical Founder


Listen Later

THIS RECORDING IS ONLY AVAILABLE UNTIL MIDNIGHT ET, TUESDAY JANUARY 20 2026

We just wrapped up the live class How to Get Funded as a Non-Technical Founder.

Fundraising is one of the most intimidating parts of building a tech venture—especially if you're not technical.

But here's what I showed the group today: investors ARE writing checks to non-technical founders.

You just need to know how to position yourself.

And today? I could feel the moment people realized: "Oh, I can actually do this." 💡

(Because you can)

In this class we covered how to raise capital as a non-technical founder without looking like a risk to investors.

Listen to this recording to learn:

✅ Why investors are skeptical of non-technical founders (and how to overcome it) ✅ The mistakes that make investors ghost you—and what to do instead ✅ How I raised $1 million as a non-technical founder (not from a rich uncle) ✅ What you MUST have before you approach investors

You'll hear how one of our alumni, Lucia Marin Fabian, used this process to get investment for her first prototype—without a technical co-founder.

Ready to Build Your Tech Venture in 2026?

If the class resonated with you, now is the time to join Tech for Non-Technical Founders: https://www.techfornontechies.co/offer

You'll get 1:1 strategy coaching from me and product coaching from Rags Vadali—the Meta product leader who launched Instagram filters to 600 million people (and made us all look hot!).

This is mentorship you'd normally only get at Techstars ($420K in equity) or Chicago Booth ($180K in tuition).

You get it for $2,000. And there are only 10 spots available.

Enrollment closes January 20th.
