What does it actually take to build a tech company – when you’re not technical?
In this episode of the AI Your Business Podcast, Kim Fernandez sits down with Jenny Rudd, founder of Dispute Buddy – a legal tech platform transforming messy, emotional communication into structured, lawyer-ready evidence.
But this isn’t a typical startup story.
Jenny didn’t come from tech. She was fired from a magazine role… then went on to buy the business, become an award-winning editor, sell it, and start again – this time in SaaS.
Together, they unpack:
- The unproven beginning of building a startup from scratch
- What it actually looks like before there’s an MVP, funding, or clarity
- How non-technical founders navigate product, engineers, and early decisions
- The role of lived experience in building meaningful tech
- What it takes to earn trust in AI and legal-tech
- The realities of being a solo female founder in tech
This is a grounded, honest look at building in uncertainty – and how founders actually get from idea to product.
