Hey guys,
I've been wondering how important it is for soon-to-be entrepreneurs to really know their product or service inside and out. If you look at successful companies, such as Oracle, Google, Facebook, all of their founders knew how to code, program, write software, etc. They knew how to build the product and the business aspect of it came later. Let's say I wanted to invent a product, but I don't have the first clue as to how to build something. Should I learn how to build it first? It would save money but would cost me time to learn. Or should I outsource this work, saving me time but costing more money, which would be bad for a start up?
