How do you find the right CTO? Or should I just learn programming? (alien.top)

I’m an entrepreneur and I always find myself with ideas that I think are powerful products. I deep dive into every aspect before I start. Since I’m not a technical founder but more of a visionary founder I find myself having to find the better half else where. Most of the time it’s difficult. Do you guys think I should learn programming so I can build my dreams faster? A lot of the time they are just very simple web apps.

Any guidance would help.

I can recommend every CEO to learn the basics of the technicals. So that you can at least follow the convo and to give the signal that you're not easily taken advantage off.

I cannot could the times that my basic knowledge saved my ass with dev's who tried to bend me over with out lube.

To find CTO's; add value in subreddits for example. CTO's needs Sales/Marketing/Business-minded people and visa versa.

I agree with this. No/low code platforms for MVP and can always sink you own money into the business or get funding to create the actual product. In saying that, Make is a steep learning curve for a non-coder. I've used Zapier for many years but it has its limitations. Make is more flexible, but takes longer to learn.
