38. Founder Stories: How I Built IVY, the Social University Tech for Non-Techies

Learning notes from this episode:
Beri’s first hire was a designer, not a developer. He found her through via a recommendation. This is the best way to hire product talent.
Beri has never had a technical co-founder, like most of the successful non-technical founders we’ve had on TFNT.
Many people get put off starting work on their venture because they do not have a technical co-founder. We keep seeing that this does not have to get in your way.
Beri has worked with various outsourced developers: again, another pattern we see from our other guests.
Fundraising should not be an aim. It can help to build a business, but it is not the only way to do so. Beri suggests asking yourself "How can I get 10 customers with the minimum amount of investment?"
