Hiring a tech team– whether they’re on-shore, off-shore, a whole fancy firm, or Jessica from a freelance site– is and should be expensive if you’re a founder without a background in technology. It’s even more expensive if you go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, adding and changing features because you and your developer can’t seem to get on the same page. Because you’re literally speaking different languages.

It is also intimidating to step into a space that feels completely alien to you. This is a recipe for giving away your power to people you (wrongly) believe are smarter than you.

These scenarios are not the stories we tell because every founder sees them as a personal failing on their part. Which is silly.

Just as you wouldn’t be able to verbally tell a brain surgeon how a healthy brain is meant to function, it is challenging to verbally explain your very-imaginary-app to a developer.

But if you have the right toooools to SHOW them who your users are, what they want to do, how they would naturally and intuitively need to move through your product, and what the screens they encounter should look like (with the right buttons and everything), you CAN and WILL easily be able to communicate your vision into reality.

When you come with these tools, you’ll be confident enough to lead the conversations instead of sitting back like a pretty, little deer in headlights about to bleed out your hard-earned, bootstrapped cash.

You will also save loads of money because you’ll cut down on developers’ time by cutting down on communication sessions, decreasing the number of iterations and pivots, and needing fewer hands and minds working on pieces you’ve already completed by workshopping your own ideas.

This is Tech AF Founder Academy Level II:

• Visionary AF: Begin developing your first visual tools. Use these assets to test your product and features. Deepen your understanding of how to lead tech teams as a Chief Product Officer. 

• Tech AF: Develop your own tech with the top design tools. Get user feedback. Learn the skills to build a Minimal Sellable Product (a product you can interact with and show to people to get them to give you monies)– not once, but multiple times as a serial entrepreneur.

• Connected AF: Not a module, but a benefit. We have a vetted list of development firms who love working with women founders. They provide discounted services to Tech AF Founder Academy graduates because of the tools and preparation YOU come with.

It includes video education from our Founder, Kristin Slink, who started multiple tech companies, successfully exited two, and has coached 100s of underestimated founders like you. You’ll also receive our badass worksheets, templates, and resources. PLUS, if you want it, access to our community of incredible women and nonbinary founders.
