A software company received their first sale by solving a real problem for a business, despite being built on no code. They iterated quickly on customer feedback and amassed a customer base paying $25,000 per month in recurring revenue within one year. The company applied and was accepted by AngelPad, receiving $120,000 in exchange for 5% of their company. They were tutored by two individuals and learned how to pitch to venture capitalists. Ultimately, they decided against raising a lot of money and were happy being their own bosses. They continued to refine their approach and business model until the founder became sick in early 2021. Jordan, the founder of Revitize, is not a coder but discovered the power of no code in building his company. He first came across no code in 2013 when he used Buildbox to build a mobile game without any coding or app design experience. He later used Bubble.io to build Revitize, a software that streamlines reviews and referrals for businesses. With no coding experience, he was able to create an MVP in just two months. Jordan believes that although no code is amazing, market research, marketing skills and go-to-market strategy are still important.
