Description

For years, non-technical founders were second class citizens in tech. 

Not anymore. 

In this episode, Sophia Matveeva shares five reasons why today is the best time in history to start a tech venture without being a coder — and why, in some cases, non-technical founders actually have the advantage.

You’ll learn:

  • Why investors are backing non-technical founders more than ever
  • How AI and no-code slash startup costs from $35,000 to $20
  • Why niche markets are exploding — and how to spot them
  • How global talent and cheaper tools make launching safer and faster
  • Why distribution — not code — decides which products win

This episode will leave you inspired and equipped to take your next step as a founder — even if you can’t write a single line of code.

🎧 Listen now and see why this is your moment.
