Coding for Entrepreneurs: How to Build Your MVP Without a Technical Co-founder
You don't need a technical co-founder to validate your idea. You need the right skills.
Many promising startups stall because founders wait for a developer, outsource too early, or build the wrong thing first. This book shows how entrepreneurs can learn just enough coding to build a functional minimum viable product (MVP), test assumptions, and gain real traction-without becoming full-time engineers.
Coding for Entrepreneurs is a practical, execution-focused guide to using code as a business tool, not a career change.
