The Challenge
Joshua Tiernan, the founder of No Code Founders, faced a challenge when he tried to launch a job board app using an off-the-shelf job board builder. The tool did not provide the functionality he needed, leading to a lot of manual workarounds to achieve his desired outcome. He was looking for a solution that would allow him to build a fully functional web app quickly and efficiently. Additionally, he wanted to create a community for founders who were building startups using no-code tools, a niche that was not well-served at the time.
About The Customer
No Code Founders is an online community for founders who are building startups using no-code tools like Bubble. The platform provides a space for these founders to connect, share their experiences, and learn from each other. It offers a range of features, including sections for posts, adding startups, no-code tools, agencies, meetups, jobs, tutorials, courses, perks, and interviews. The community started small, but has grown over time, with more features added along the way to support founders on their startup journeys. The ultimate goal of No Code Founders is to bring more entrepreneurs into the no-code movement and reach founders who haven’t discovered the power of no-code tools yet.
The Solution
Joshua discovered Bubble, a no-code platform that offered him the tools and support needed to build a fully functional web app quickly. He was able to build an MVP of exactly what he wanted in under a month, working just a few hours per night. This experience led him to ditch the other tool and go all in with Bubble. He then used Bubble to build No Code Founders, an online community for founders who are building startups using no-code tools. The platform includes features for founders to connect with each other, share questions and updates, add their startups to a showcase, post jobs or meetups, and more. All of the site content comes from the community, with Joshua curating the best bits.
Operational Impact
  • The No Code Founders platform has been a success, with key milestones including significant early revenue and acquisition offers. The platform has also fostered a strong community of founders who are building startups using no-code tools. This community-driven approach has been key to the platform's success, with all site content coming from the community itself. Joshua's role has been to curate this content and showcase the best bits. The platform has also been successful in attracting more technical members, although future plans include adding more features to support those who are just getting started with no-code tools.
Quantitative Benefit
  • After launching the app, it brought in $20k in the first 6 weeks through Pro memberships and paid partnerships.
  • Received 3 offers to acquire the community and app.
  • Aiming to reach a milestone of 10,000 members in the next few months.
