285: From idea to revenue in 7 months: how this non-technical founder did it

Most people assume turning an idea into revenue takes years. Turns out, that belief slows more projects down than tech ever does.

In just seven months, Noor Alderazi, founder of Tamam Technologies, went from idea to a live product with paying customers.

No technical background. No bloated development team. No guesswork.

This episode of Tech for Non-Techies breaks down what actually made the speed possible.

• Using AI to prototype before spending real money.
• Starting with a painfully specific B2B problem.
• Letting customers—not opinions—decide what got built.

Sophia walks through how Noor treated tech as a business tool, not a science experiment, and why that approach helped her secure $65,000 in equity-free funding along the way.

If you're sitting on an idea and wondering what "doing it right" really looks like, this is the playbook.

In this episode, you will hear:

• AI used for rapid prototyping without locking into the wrong build
• A niche B2B pain point that made early revenue easier, not harder
• The cost of building too soon and how to avoid it
• What helped Tamam Technologies secure $65,000 in equity-free funding
