I had a super unconventional journey into tech startups. I worked on the product teams at various Fortune 500s for years before I discovered my love for building products myself. I spent countless hours browsing through Product Hunt but only as a lurker and occasionally commenting on others' work. Eventually, frustrated by my lack of action and inability to write code, I stepped up in 2018 (thanks to the book Atomic Habits) and decided to build tiny teeny projects with no-code. Shipped my 1st project Do Things That Don't Scale in 5 days that became the #1 Product Of The Day which gave me the impetus to continue building a portfolio of over 10 projects โ€” all built in public. Having felt it was time for me to switch from working at corporates to enter the startup arena, I've announced my availability for hire on Twitter and landed an ambitious job at On Deck in public in October 2020 (the back story is here. At my day job, I help hundreds of ambitious no-coders take wild shots and create solutions to solve their problems, and become prolific builders. (If interested, we're finalizing applications for the next cohort that starts on July 10th, apply here My superpowers are creating give-first communities, building a passionate audience on the Internet around specific niches, creating tools with no-code to solve problems I care about and helping advise the next generation of entrepreneurs. ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'll be here on 06/14 at 7 am pt to answer any and all questions about no-code, building in public, working at a high-growth startup, and more.

which no-code tools are you using? which ones are you recommending for a beginner? Where to start?

Hey KP ๐Ÿ‘‹ Thank you for sharing your time today! We know there are lots of ways to build an audience these days. What is your current framework or approach to prioritising the different mediums to use? How would you split your time when you are first starting out? (ie social media, newsletter, blog, podcast...) And once one is chosen, how do you think about structuring your content so you make it a habit? With Gratitude, Ash ๐Ÿ™Œ

Love to know about your no-code project KP, What Is it? This is gonna be interesting and fun.

SUPER pumped for this! Question: Which channel out of twitter, youtube, TikTok, etc. are good means to build in public considering that there is so much noise, which makes it hard: 1. For founders to grab the audience attention 2. For product geek followers (like myself) to not get deviated in all the other content Looking forward to it:)

Hey KP! Thanks for doing this AMA. Here's my question: You went from building no-code projects to running no-code fellowship at On Deck. What was the whole journey like? And what advice you want to give for people who are just getting started in no-code and aiming to join ambitious startups?
Miguel Baquero
Whats the next big thing in no-code?
Alexander Hugh Sam
Thanks for doing this KP! How are you able to balance being a program director at a rocket-ship startup, being a Dad and still have time to be active on Twitter and continue shipping out side projects?
Navjeet Chabbewal
Cant do it Monday because of my full time job, but would love to read about your conversations if possible.

Hey @KP, Thanks for doing this. Do you have a go-to framework for market validation? How do you decide success metrics for your products and know when to move on from an idea?
Dimitris Karavias
What's your favourite learning resource and why?
Korey Stegared-Pace
Hey KP! From a community perspective how so you think no-code companies can best onboard and educate non-technical people in to using their products?
Utkarsh Bhimte
How has been your experience with OnDeck till now? Would love to know your insights on CBCs and How it can affect the future of Education In general?

Hey KP!! Big fan here :) I love that you're never scared to take your shot. Getting GaryVee on your podcast was a crazy shot that went straight in!! How can others too take big shots that too in public? Is there a process to it? What if it didn't work and even worse not get any engagement?
Utkarsh Bhimte
What analytics tool do you use for your products? Is there anyone metric that you check more frequently than others?

What are some new trends we can expect in no-code and low-code soon?

๐Ÿฃ Scenario: You've finished building your product (well 90%), you've validated the market, you've got online space, sales/marketing cylinders ready to fire, users can achieve value from the solution as it stands today. But you need funding for the last 10% and further growth. Do you: a) Spend what you can and build the complete package before fishing for funding? b) Go all-in on looking for an investor with the base product now? c) Play with what you have. Promote through different channels, outline a roadmap and try to get early adoption; at the same time search for funding? Cheers. Triv p.s. or none of the above!

I think you're the best person to answer my question and help me. Good to see you KP! I'm building mobile app with Python and React Native, it has taken too much time already. I'm building app where people upload their video's and then you swipe these video's like people on Tinder and rate them. How can I implement nocode MVP for that in your opinion? The website is www.skatesome.com. Thanks!
