If, like Marc Andreessen said, software is eating the world, Matt Jonns is somewhere in that kitchen.
His business, ucreate, partners with non-technical founders to start and scale technology companies. It’s an unusual model — part agency, part accelerator, part incubator — one one perfectly matched to the needs of their target partners: non-technical founders.
Domain specialists come to Jonns & his team with an idea — say, digitizing an offline sales quota system — and they pair that founder with a team of engineers & product managers, who vet, build & launch it.
We talked to Jonns about what the soon to be even more online world will look like.
Highlights include:
- What is the opportunity in non-technical founders?
- How does ucreate’s equity model work & why?
- More small businesses will be moving online in the next 10 years — what will that look like?
- How do you know your idea has a market? How should you vet that?
