Do you think job experience in a tech agency/company is necessary to become a tech founder?
I imagine there are many intricacies that can only be learned in a real project with a real team. Learn on the job so to say.

Or is it possible to learn the tech-stack for example and go straight into freelance/building your own company by bootstrapping?
