The $100 No Code Tech Stack Behind Flexiple’s $3M Business
Can you build a multi-million dollar business using only $100 worth of No Code tools?
Legend says yes. And this legendary founder is none other than the founder of Flexiple, Karthik Sridharan.
His curated freelance marketplace has pulled in over $3 million in revenue to date, all while running on a No Code stack that costs just $100 a month.
How and why did he do so?
Rather than taking the conventional path of pursuing a career in finance after his MBA, Karthik decided to take a risk and launch his own startup.
He leveraged No Code platforms like Bubble, and Airtable to build Flexiple’s core products and side projects, avoiding the need to hire developers initially.
No Code Tech Stack that Karthik used
Here’s a look at the key No Code tools powering Flexiple’s lean and profitable business:
Bubble - Flexiple’s main platform is built on Bubble, an all-in-one No Code tool for building web apps. Between Bubble and Airtable, Karthik has connected most of Flexiple’s core functions via API integrations.
Airtable - Used for its great data visualization capabilities. Flexiple uses Airtable scripts to shortlist freelancers.
Integromat - Handles integrating and connecting many of Flexiple’s different No Code platforms and workflows.
Webflow - Powers side projects like Scale, an open-source illustration platform where users can customize illustrations.
The best part
Karthik estimates his entire No Code stack costs around $100 a month, proving that bootstrapping a startup on No Code can be extremely cost-efficient.
Of course, building a successful business requires more than just technology. By focusing on solving customer needs first before worrying about scale and fancy tech, Flexiple carved out a solid niche.
No Code tools forced Karthik to hone his business model and marketing strategies, rather than getting distracted by non-essential features early on.
