How Non-Tech Founders Can Overcome the Challenges of Scaling a Startup Product

It’s quite demanding to elevate a startup product, especially for non-tech founders. They may lack the adequate technical expertise required to overcome the growth complications. Moreover, scaling doesn’t mean expanding user numbers or attracting investors. Rather, the aim should be to create a product capable of handling increased demand, maintaining user satisfaction, and surviving in the longer run.
