250. Less Tech, More Value: Why Simpler Digital Products Win

Tech for Non-Techies

The more technology you put into your product, the worse it can get.

In this episode, Sophia Matveeva talks with Zahra Almahoozi, founder of DARB and recent graduate of the Tech for Non-Technical Founders program in Bahrain.

Discover how Zahra's "less is more" approach helped her build a startup that addresses real user needs without overwhelming them with features.

This episode is for you if you:

• Are building a digital product and wondering what to include
• Want to create something users will actually adopt (instead of ignore)
• Are looking to validate your concept with minimal investment

You will learn:

1. Why starting with WhatsApp groups or Google Forms can be more effective than complex technology
2. The three things every non-technical innovator must know to communicate effectively with developers
3. How documenting requirements can save you thousands in development costs

You can connect with Zahra Almahoozi on LinkedIn or follow Darb on Instagram
