Most non-technical founders assume their biggest gap is technology.
Sadly, that belief is what leads to bloated builds, slow progress, and painful spending.
After 17 years inside Google, Meta, and high-growth startups, Rags Vadali has seen what actually makes products succeed. It's not code. It's clarity.
In this episode of Tech for Non-Techies, Sophia and Rags break down how the best teams decide what to build before worrying about how. From spreadsheet-driven experiments that unlocked a $5B Meta product to why AI hasn't changed the hardest part of building, this conversation reframes how to approach product creation in 2026.
In this episode, you will hear:
- Deciding what to build matters more than optimizing development
- A multi-billion-dollar Meta product validated with spreadsheets, not code
- Customer conversations as the fastest path to conviction
- Clarity as the real advantage in an AI-heavy world
