My 15+ software engineering career has involved working with dozens of startups. But my personal and professional mission -- the thing that gets me out of bed in the morning -- is helping early-stage, bootstrapped, solopreneurs like yourself to get your idea(s) out of your head and into the real world.
Yes, yes, yes -- a million times yes!
Throw the idea that you "don't have the skills to create the product" out of the window. These days, you don't have to know how to code to build software.
There are a whole slew of "No-Code" and "Low-Code" tools available to help you build your tech startup -- and a whole community of solo founders to ask questions of. Check out these two resources:
I'm a software engineer and have been building startups for 15+ years. I'm making the transition into No Code for two reasons: first, to build faster and launch my own products with less work; and second, so that I do a better job helping non-technical founders launch their startups on thier own.
The ecosystem isn't 100% there yet, but it will be in the next few years. Depending on which tool you use, you may run into feature limitations and/or find vendor lock-in when you reach a certain scale.
But that still meshes with the ethos of a Lean Startup MVP: you're eventually going to throw it all away anyway and start over from scratch. And when you do, you'll have customers, you'll have money, and you'll be in a better place to hire developers without worrying about them stealing your idea.
Let me know if I can do anything to help. You got this!
