Hi Rob would recommend non technical founders learn to code?
I would start with Youtube 🙂 learn something like HTML,CSS and javascript
Learning enough code to understand what is going on can be helpful! But you can check out this episode of Startups for the Rest of Us: Should a Non-Technical Founder Learn to Code (https://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/episodes/episode-224-should-a-non-technical-founder-learn-to-code) for more!
@MicroConf Thank’s Rob I’ll check it out!
Bubble has helped me tremendously on my journey.
Now I have 3 different no code businesses for podcasters.
What’s the MRR?
also would you recommend building with no code
@gideon Haven’t opened the doors yet! But we’re going with a super basic pricing model to get us started.
@Coach Chris Podcaster Reacts Good luck!
I’m looking to build an MVP with no code just to test the market first ,then go from there
@gideon Thanks! Good luck to you as well. Are you on Twitter?
@Coach Chris Podcaster Reacts Yes I am
what’s your handle?
Hosting VPS IONOS – any thoughts Rob?
I belong to non tech background. So I totally got your point. Learned something new. Thanks.
P.s. Any video you can suggest from MicroConf which covers all SaaS related things? I am okay with long video.
Great place to start is our “Building Your First SaaS” playlist! We’ve got 10 videos covering most of the things you should be thinking about at those early stages. But gold! bit.ly/build-your-first-saas
@MicroConf Thank you so much. I will check it. 😃
Best way to start a SaaS, don’t start with SaaS in the beginning.
Great video Rob.
Can you please explain?

I would love to see a video on user acquisition channels for new and early stage SaaS products.
We held a virtual event last year focused on this topic. All of the videos are here 💪🏻
