Zero to one #5 : Tech for those starting out
Hello Builders,
This is a part of our ongoing series - Zero to One which you can follow on our newsletter or join our daily twitters spaces to contribute.
Tech for Novice Builders
When we are starting out and are looking to build a product, we often get stuck at the Tech which is required to build it. What we fail to realize is whatever version we build right now, will get upgraded in the future.
So, instead of building an entire product, the idea should always be to get an MVP out and get feedback from users on whether it solves the problem and what other features they are looking for.
The initial versions of the product should give you enough flexibility to change whatever you want and less reaction time so that you can make changes and go to the market again with the updated version in a day/week or two.
No code tools, API integration tools, and webhooks are beautiful ways to leverage existing technologies in the market and put together a version that will work for you.
Here is a list of resources for you if you are starting out:
Zapier : Anything and everything for integrations. If you have the right product flow, you can use Zapier to integrate different apps together and make the app universe work for you.
Automate.io : There might be a few automations that are not there in Zapier which you can find here.
Airtable : Works as a free and flexible database that gets integrated with different platforms using Zapier and be the perfect tool for you for analysis and customer reachouts.
Notion: You can live your life in Notion if you want to. Perfect for running your company operations on as well as maintaining checklists, structuring your process and strategy
Bubble: If you are a Tech noob, the best tool for you to build your first version of MVP.
Instamojo - Payment gateway or store. The reason we recommend this is because the registration process is simple and you can open up an account even if you do not have an account
For all thinking of building something
If you are thinking of building a product, we have launched a 50-day Bootcamp for all those who want to learn the process of launching products.
You not only get to work with some of the best mentors, you also get access to tools worth $20,000.
In this boot camp, we ensure that you understand the process and the framework to use when you are approaching any idea which were either pursuing in the present or in the future. We are taking only 100 builders so please apply if you think it works for you.
