It is possible though it may take time. There are some businesses they don't require technology before they can grow. Besides, all technologies that we have now are built upon the local methods that we have been using before. So it is very much possible.

You don't need a background in tech to turn an idea into a full-fledged tech start-up, so take it from the business student who now operates a tech company. Eventually, you can bring in some team members who speak the language, but the most important aspect is to believe wholeheartedly in the get-go concept.

As a startup founder, is it possible to launch a technology business without building technology first? The overwhelming majority of companies launch an app or web experience that misses the mark upon launch. The companies that reach success iterate their ways there, usually over a long period of time and at great expense.

Depending who is running, it is most possible to run a business without the use of technology. Before the advent of technology, business's were run through productive means like word of mouth, radio giggles, televisions advert and more, and they derives their money back from profit.

So much so, that without fully functioning computers and access to emails/data, a company will struggle to operate effectively. The simple fact is that for any organisation, the impact of data loss or corruption from hardware failure, human error, hacking or malware could be detrimental.

if I talk about the previous generation so there was no use of technology.
They were running their business through different ways and planing.
But if we comes to this modern generation so it's hard for this generation to run business.
They even can't take a start of business so for me it is difficult to start and run business without technology.
