Startup Funding Espresso -- Technical Skills

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Startup founders need some technical skills. Here's a list of skills to bring to your startup: Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets - you'll use this for budgeting, forecasts, and numerous other applications. Data analysis - you should be familiar with Google analytics and other basic analytic tools to gather information about your sales and marketing efforts. Basic coding skills - you should be able to read HTML to make changes and update your website. WordPress - you may outsource the design and setup of your website but you should know enough about the backend to make text changes and minor updates. Design tools - you need to be familiar with design software for making logos, presentations, and other content pieces. Cloud - you should have a working knowledge of cloud tools since it's the place you store your documents, run applications, and host your data. Collaboration tools - you should be able to use collaboration tools as it's the primary method for communicating with others. CRM automation - you should be able to set up emails and responders. A founder does not have to be a specialist in technology but should have basic technical skills to run office automation, websites, and other systems.
