Let us know your thoughts!

Some tips for techies who are still not able to start their company:

1. You will be able to learn as you go - marketing, accounting, business

2. Validate the problem statement then find a solution that fits what the users want

3. Gather/hire people who actually know more than you on the said topic

4. Networking is key here (cannot emphasise enough)

5. Carving your personal brand - People buy products from individuals not the company per se
