My summer officially starts in 9 hours (eff you finals). I'm a business major meaning I have 0 code experience. My thoughts took a 180 degree turn when the idea for my startup hit. Being a broke college student, I would be bootstrapping this to the fullest extent. Being only $20k away from having a team of hackers build my MVP, I am really considering the following two options (which is when you guys come in).
Do I spend the following 3 months building a strategic business/marketing/sales plan? And search for some startup cash?
or
Do I start teaching myself how to program (I believe Python/Django is the route I would need to go)?
This content on being a Wantrepreneur is good too: http://www.appsumo.com/wantrepreneurs-videos/ ... the main idea is to test if there is market for your idea before investing loads of time and money on a product.
You should also read a book about selling and try to practice it in some way - I've learned that's much harder compared with the programming thing. "Everyone can create a copy of Facebook - but everyone can't get the users!"
