In my last post, I mentioned that I am at the beginning of my journey as the founder of a software company.  Funny thing is, I don’t know the first thing about developing software.  I am what you would call a non-technical founder.  The idea is mine but I need someone technical to execute my vision.

I don’t generally hang out with developer types, so my quest to find a technical lead to develop the software, is not an easy one.  Ultimately the person who ends up being the technical lead will probably become the technical co-founder of the company.  After all, without this person, my idea is just that, an idea.

Because I am beginning the search for my Woz, I have decided to attend events I normally would not attend, like #devTO.  #devTO is a place where mostly technical folk congregate to collaborate on tech-y things.  I figure this would be a good place to meet and greet with potentially, the person who helps make my vision a reality.

While it’s absolutely necessary (unless I become a coder), it’s a huge leap of faith.  It will be my first test as the founder of an unnamed software company.
