Hey everyone ๐
I love NoCode and truly believe that it has made building startups affordable and more accessible to all.
In fact, we grew our startup to $3 million in revenue using a $60 NoCode stack! It was an absolute revelation for us! (more about it later)
So, I want more people to know, appreciate & leverage the power of NoCode.
To that end, I am working on a series to uncover the NoCode journey startups have taken. Not just a general story, but one with actionable inputs on:
If you've used NoCode to buildd your startup, I'd love to cover your journey. Just fill in your details in the form below, and I'll reach back with more details.

We will be publish & market your story on buildd, a learning platform for startups & business.
Here are a few ways this could benefit you:
My co-founders and I started buildd-ing our startup, Flexiple โย a platform that connects companies with top tech freelancers โ while we were in college.
As a typical first-time entrepreneur would, we entirely focused on building a product for scale.
โ We spent $5,000 to build our first product but dumped it immediately.
โ We spent another $5,000 to build another product and again had to dump it.
With 2 failed attempts and $10,000 in the bin, we dropped the product and just earned our first $100k with just GoogleSheets.
Thereafter, we just kept automating various parts of our business โ that's where NoCode tools came in!
Fast forward to 5 years later, we scaled our startup Flexiple to $3M ARR all done on a $60/month NoCode stack.
So, again, it won't be an overstatement to say that I LOVE NoCode! And, now I want to cover other founders' NoCode journey on my new startup, buildd!
Here's the form link again: Share your NoCode journey.

Will be interesting to see the diversity of products built using no-code. Great job mate. Looking forward to it
What kind of product are you interested in building, Kushal?
Hey Sneha. I believe No code applications will initially flourish in productivity tools in every vertical.
Cheers! :)
Done :)

Which are the NoCode tools you are running Flexiple on?
Sure, here's our NoCode stack:
We've upgraded the Bubble plan recently and made a few other changes, but this has remained our stack for the most amount of time.
Hi, mind if I ask why you pick Webflow five years before? I have used WordPress to build website for my not so successful B2C business five years before. Feel quite comfortable with it. Then partner with some others now to build a job board, but they are now using Wix. And I would say I totally pissed off on the SEO and page speed things of Wix. I am thinking about which technology/platform to start the whole thing again!
Would love to hear your comment and your mind journey in choosing which NoCode tools/platform! TIA!
Hey, we actually started with Wordpress initially. I had worked as a software engineer earlier, and had only heard of Wordpress before. So, it was the obvious choice for our blog & mini projects (to avoid the hassle of custom apps).
We switched to Webflow only around 2019-2020, when we wanted to buildd a more nuanced & good looking product. We ended up doing a lot of JS based customisation on Webflow though.
Nice, thank you for sharing!

This sounds amazing. Looking forward to the series!
Cheers Rebecca :)
This is amazing, Hrishikesh. Love nocode stories as well and I think @dg96 and @katt_lab would be amazing people to contribute to this.
Thanks for the suggestions, Sneha! Reached out to Katt already, will also speak to Domenico :)
How did you figure out that we need to drop this product and work on new idea? Decision making like this is not easy. Any suggestions on that?
Sure, my co-founder has explained our decisions wrt to the initial products in detail here - https://twitter.com/KarthikS2206/status/1363753880849317888 :)
Great initiative! Would love to read these stories.
Cheers! :)
a inspiring journey @hrishikesh1990
Cheers! :)
Great job Hrishikesh! Congrats! We don't use a lot of no-code tools at Hypefury but I think you have an offer that will get you plenty of takers.
Thanks Yannick!
