The comprehensive live course from Wellcrafted Founder Academy. In just 10 weeks, you'll learn to translate your vision to tech teams, manage timelines and budgets, and build effective MVPs—join live classes, get expert guidance, and become confident in leading technical teams.
You have a vision for your tech company, but you're not technical. You're stuck between hiring expensive agencies, finding a technical co-founder, or trying to learn to code yourself. None of these feel right, and you feel overwhelmed by technical decisions, development timelines, and team management.
Worse, when technical challenges arise, you don't know what questions to ask or how to evaluate solutions. You're at the mercy of developers who may not share your vision. Even worse, developers and technical people often make non-technical founders feel stupid or as if they can't lead technical teams. But that's not true - you don't need to code to lead a tech company.
The result? Founders waste 10s to 100s of thousands of dollars (precious capital) and 6-18 months of time - resources you can't afford to lose when building your tech product.
This is your apprenticeship as a tech founder.
Not the kind you get from a coding bootcamp, but the kind you earn by understanding how to build and run a tech company.
You need a place where you learn to translate your vision to tech teams, hire the right talent, manage development processes, and maintain ownership of your tech IP without writing a single line of code.
We created this program because you deserve more than just technical knowledge.
You deserve the confidence to lead technical teams and build a tech company that scales.
I'm a venture-backed founder and CEO/CTO who has built and led technical teams for over 20 years. I've served as CTO for dozens of startups across industries and stages, helping non-technical founders become confident tech leaders.
But my real story starts with frustration.
When I first started working with non-technical founders, I saw them struggle with the same problems: unclear product requirements, poor team management, and losing control of their technical assets. They were spending money without understanding what they were building or how to maintain their tech company.
That's why I built this program.
Over the last two decades, I've helped hundreds of founders learn to translate their vision to tech teams, hire the right talent, manage development processes, and maintain ownership of their tech companies. I've seen firsthand what works, and what wastes time, money, and momentum.
Now, I'm pouring that experience into helping founders like you go from technical confusion to confident tech leadership. Because no founder should have to figure out how to build a tech company alone.
You'll leave with the skills to translate your vision to tech teams, hire, manage, and own your tech product without needing to code.
Equip yourself with everything needed to become a confident tech founder. Walk away with the knowledge, processes, and confidence to build and lead a tech company successfully.

Common pitfalls that waste time and money in building a tech company
Starting development without clear requirements, timelines, or budgets. This leads to scope creep, missed deadlines, and blown budgets.
Choosing developers based on price alone or hiring without understanding their skills and experience. This results in poor quality work and project delays.
Letting developers own your codebase, hosting, or technical decisions. This creates dependency and makes it impossible to switch teams or maintain your product.
Managing development without proper processes, communication, or quality assurance. This leads to misaligned expectations and poor outcomes.
