5 - Building a Product As a Non-Technical Founder — with Emily Fagerstrom, Founder of Wisket

Founders come with varying degrees of technical expertise. For non-technical founders, it’s important to find a partner that understands their vision and also makes an effort to include them in the development process.

In this episode of the Product Builders Podcast, we sit down with Emily Fagerstrom, founder of Wisket, and Mark Garcia, CCO at Majestyk, to discuss what it's like developing a product as a non-technical founder. We also explore the best practices you should deploy when working with a non-technical founder from a development perspective.

Emily shares that the most important thing when finding a partner is to make sure they are willing to educate you and help you grow your technical knowledge throughout your journey. This allows you to understand the importance of each step and milestone and deliverables. It also helps build trust between you and your partner.

From the development side, Mark discusses the emphasis that Majestyk puts on clear communication and transparency with a non-technical founder throughout the development process. He notes that it's vital for clients to be involved in the project for them to understand their product and share relevant details with other key stakeholders.

In closing, Emily tells non-technical founders to believe in their vision regardless of their technical expertise. With the right partner, you’ll learn what you need to.
