In this episode of the Savvy Founder, I interview Christian Peverelli, CEO and founder of WeAreNoCode. Christian shares some background on what led him to be in the technology startup world and shares what lead him to start the WeAreNoCode along with some lessons learned.
Listen as we discuss:
- All startups, even non-technical businesses, are really technology startups – technology is everywhere.
- How to the entrepreneurial system works and your odds of getting funded.
- Entrepreneurship is learned; There is no such thing as bad entrepreneurship, only trained and untrained entrepreneurs.
- Entrepreneurial risk is a luxury of wealth.
- Once you have the luxury to choose, it’s your responsibility to build something useful.
- To be a good entrepreneur – Can you pass the marshmallow test? Can you wait for two marshmallows or will you eat the first one you get?
- The definition of investable has changed from just an idea, to having to have 3-6 months traction and growing recurring monthly revenue.
- NoCode is a movement built around building software and automating systems without learning how to program. You don’t type but use a GUI (Graphical User Interface) to accomplish the same thing.
- NoCode lets you build a minimal viable product (MVP) without having to spend lots of money.
- WeAreNoCode is academy built around teaching entrepreneurial skills and using a NoCode approach to build an MVP in about 2 months.
- Investing in NoCode is like investing in oneself; you don’t need to be an accredited investor with lots of funds.
- What’s the best advice to your younger self and the audience? Learn as much as you can from people who have already paved the road before you. Reading about entrepreneurship is not the same as learning by doing.
