Me and a friend, both non-technical, started a service oriented company 6 years ago.
Now we're switching our focus to SaaS and even have some $$ to pay contractors / employees...
But how do we evaluate talent?
How do we delegate?
How do we understand (much less give input) on technical decisions?
What happens when (not if) they leave and move on?
Being vulnerable to and leaving that much decision-making responsibility to 'employees' who aren't invested like you are is a recipe for failure - entrepreneurs make things happen and get things done, but how much of that can you do if you don't understand the core of what your business does - software?
