First time founder, looking for guidance

Hello

I am non technical founder based in the UK building a CRM and Order Management System.

I have a POC built in Figma that showcases new features that current market options don’t have and improvements on existing features. I lack the technical skill to built a functioning MVP but I do have some technical knowledge. I have enough to understand the complexity and size of what I want to build.

My current plan is the following:

• Raise preseed funding from angel investors or preseed VCs. I have a solid business plan and pitch deck in their final drafts.
• Find/hire a technical cofounder/development head to build and develop MVP (platform is complex and big enough it will require more then one developer to finish it in a reasonable timeframe)
• Once MVP is complete, begin sales to ICPs. I have strong connections in the industry already making this step easier.
• Once the above is done plan is to continue growing, develop main product and create supporting software

How would you recommend going forward from the point I’m at?

Should I build a functional prototype using a no code webapp builder? Will this be needed when I have a POC in Figma? If so any recommendations?

Currently there is no plan for integration of AI but should I add some to drum up more hype when pitching to investors? Adding AI will further improve my planned features but will massively increase complexity.

It may be worth noting i have already developed a product internally for my current job that they’re intending to release for internal use down the line. This wasn’t a viable solo business as it was impossible to defend and easy to replicate.

Cheers for reading
