Non-technical founders build billion-dollar companies by owning the problem, customer, and vision — not by writing code. Your job is to define who you serve, validate willingness to pay, and partner with engineers who ship.
What to prepare before hiring developers
- One-page problem statement: who hurts, how much, and why now
- List of 3 competitors and what you do differently
- Must-have vs nice-to-have features for v1
- Budget range and target launch date
Red flags when hiring a dev shop
- No fixed scope or timeline after discovery
- You do not own the code and IP
- Junior developers billed as seniors
- No weekly demos of working software
BeejakTech transfers 100% IP to founders, runs weekly demos, and scopes before code. NDA included on every engagement.
