Taking the first steps on any journey is often described as the hardest part. That is even more true when the journey is developing a new business idea, whether a completely fresh start with the founding of a start-up, or taking an established business online.


In this blog, we want to focus on the first of those two, start-ups.


There are countless articles and books and guides professing the ‘right’ pathway for getting started. They’re excellent for the infant stages of your start-up, but we found they dropped off when it came to giving insight into how you go about approaching a software developer.


If you don’t have the technical know-how, we’ve found this can be a daunting phase of the journey. So, to help, we’ve put together a video guide that gives you insider knowledge on how to:

  • Get started with research, looking at user groups and competitors.
  • Find potential sources of funding.
  • Identifying a developer that is a good fit for your business.
  • What to bring to a developer in order for them to succeed.
