How I Started Building a Startup with No-Code Tools

This early recording explains how I started building Unicorn Factory with no-code tools.

It introduces Webflow, Airtable, and Zapier for founders choosing where to start. Product screens and pricing change over time.

Start with one customer task

Write down what your first customer needs to do. For a directory, that might mean finding a freelancer and sending an enquiry.

Build that short path before adding payments, accounts, or complex automation. Use manual steps when they help you learn faster.

A visual builder still needs data design, testing, and maintenance. Choose tools around the work your product must perform.

The original advanced playlist is Pro tutorials.
