NonTechTech Beta — Community and mentorship for aspiring (non)techies

Hey everyone, We're so excited about launching NTT today! 😄 I'm always striving to make tech more inclusive and NTT is the latest step in that journey. Like many great friendships these days mine and @aaronoleary's started on Twitter. Over DMs we would rant about all the misconceptions people have about working in tech - that you need to be technical, that you need to know everything about software and hardware, that you need to have studied at Stanford, etc. We know there are so many talented people out there bored out of their minds in a mundane internship or job who could be a great asset in an exciting startup / tech company. But they probably aren't even considering working in tech because they don't know enough about it like what roles are out there and how to break in. The idea for NTT was born. We've been in private beta for the last five months and now we're going public. We want to help students, recent grads and other young professionals find fulfilling work across the tech sector. We believe its the best way to change the world. We want to ensure our future is better than our present and that can only happen with diverse people building the future together. TLDR: NTT is on a mission to break down barriers in tech and help people find fulfilling work in tech regardless of their coding skills. We do this through a Slack channel, mentorship directory and interviews with (non)techies. Please ask us questions, share feedback and support the mission by joining us today.

Awesome product. Definitely recommending this to some close friends of mine. Congrats on the launch, Abadesi :)

Love this! Big fan of resources like these for Non-techs! Will share this with the www.nocode.tech community! 👏🏻

Super glad to launch this today, we are still working on it, changing the design, adding new mentors and fleshing it out completely, hope everyone likes the idea and that it can make a difference!

I'm currently finishing up a brand new design for NTT which will include much more features and services for those wanting to get into tech!

Non-technical jobs are definitely on the rise. With Google launching a course on Coursera for support positions. The world is definitely taking notice. Learning to write copy to communicate effectively when working remote is extremely important. Dope🚬🚬

👋Former philosophy student here... I got into tech by complete accident and was surprised how receptive the industry was to my background. I love that NTT is making this more prevalent <3

Awesome to see this @abadesi! As a non-technical maker, it is super valuable to have a community of like-minded individuals to help with advice, tool recommendations, and even just moral support :) Also relevant to the topic - I just launched "Ryan Hoover is my homeboy" on PH with no code: https://www.producthunt.com/post...#

That's awesome, would definitely love to contribute! I've started Planable at 19 and definitely lacked a lot of deep knowledge in marketing, growth hacking and technical such as SEO. Would love to help if you have any questions ;)

Tight knight community of people who actually care to give thoughtful feedback. I have been involved with NTT for a few months now and have really enjoyed interacting with everybody on the platform, especially Abadesi. She is very passionate about diversity in tech, and takes initiative to make a difference.

Really happy to be part of this community!

Pros:

Tight knight community of people who actually care to give thoughtful feedback

Cons:

None so far

It looks like you have restrictions on age, do you have other restrictions like race, gender, sexual orientation, etc?
