Do You Still Need a Dev to Build Your MVP?
Do You Still Need a Dev to Build Your MVP?
(In the age of AI, how far can a non-technical founder really go alone?)
AI makes it easier than ever to build a product.
It does not make it easier to build the right product.
And if you’re a non-technical founder without clear tech direction, AI tools can accelerate mistakes just as fast as progress.
So the real question is:
How far can you build alone - and when do you actually need a developer?
This session is designed specifically for non-technical founders building software, automation, or AI who want to move fast without losing control.
If you’ve been:
experimenting with AI tools but unsure what’s “good”
wondering whether you even need a developer yet
worried about hiring too early (or too late)
overwhelmed by scope creep and shiny tools
searching for a CTO before validating your idea
This webinar will give you clarity.
You’ll learn:
when AI tools are enough
when you’re entering risky technical territory
when to bring in a senior developer
when a CTO actually makes sense
how to avoid expensive rebuilds
how to use AI intelligently without becoming dependent on it
This is not a coding workshop.
It’s a tech leadership and decision workshop - for founders who want to build lean while staying in control.
Hosted by - Matt Ainsworth

Joined by - Kale Miller

With hands-on experience building data and AI systems from 0→1 and leading engineering teams, Kale brings a pragmatic perspective on when AI is enough - and when proper engineering structure is essential.
If you’re planning to build in the next 3-6 months, this session will help you avoid expensive missteps and install the right guardrails from the start.
Also, includes a free downloadable worksheet to help you take action immediately - we will send this through before the session kicks-off.
