Build Systems in your Startup Using No-Code Tools
Building a startup from scratch isn’t always SEXY
Yes! It means that you get to build your own product and enjoy the perks that come with it.
But it also means that you’ll be building and managing a ton of stuff at a time.
– Ideation – Validation – Designing – Coding – Marketing – Feedback
You need to manage all these loose ends while also keeping the product team, developers, marketers, and designers on the same page.
Not easy? But what if I tell you that you can do all of this stuff much faster and much more cost-effectively by using “No-Code” tools!
How? Let’s jump in:
With the availability of No-code, almost everyone can access the development environment visually and drive rapid changes to it.
The barrier to entry to development will be reduced. With the proper use of No code tools, you can literally cut time and cost drastically.
You get an idea → Build an MVP → Test the product and market
You can do all this within days using No-Code tools. No more spending thousands of dollars on building MVPs. (This hasn’t been possible before)
Suggested No-Code Communities.
Consider joining a no-code community. Meet peers, build habits, and discover opportunities. See:

Here’s a CATCH. You need to have good thinking ability and an understanding of programming interface apps (API) to get the most out of these “No Code” tools.
Let’s say you’re building an MVP for your startup.

Need some inspiration? Here are stories of 6 Nontech founders and No Code startups Read here
“The best code is no code at all. Every new line of code you willingly bring into the world is code that has to be debugged, code that has to be read and understood, code that has to be supported. Every time you write a new code, you should do so reluctantly, under duress, because you completely exhausted all your other options.” — Jeff Atwood
I’m not saying that you can entirely shift to No-Code tools and fire any engineers that you have, but you can save a ton of time by automating stuff so you can focus on critical aspects like design and logic.
Hope you found some value in this email.
P.S. I’m launching my first-ever online course on Maven where I’ll be taking a limited number of people on mentorship and coaching sessions.
If you’re an engineer with tons of great ideas, a wantrepreneur who has been dreaming of starting their own company or simply looking to be more scrappy and entrepreneurial, then this is for you.
