Ask HN: Best way to build a SaaS product for a non-tech founder
I am a non-tech founder and have a compelling SAAS idea. I have validated the idea by surveying several potential customers. I am a potential customer myself. I have evaluated no-code solutions but I don't think that will solve problem for my customers.
I have a budget of about $50K to spend on building the product. I suppose, I have following options
- Learn to code myself and build an MVP (Doesn't appear to be a practical choice)
- Hire an outsourcing agency (or freelancer). Tell them my requirements and give them money. Looks practical one but have heard not so great feedback about this approach.
- Hire a few technical people myself and build the product.
- Find a CTO. Have tried doing it and failed.
Is there any 5th option which I am missing? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
