Episode 79: Solve Customer Problems Quickly by Joining the No-Code Revolution
Natalie Furness, Founder @ Minimum Viable Stack
8 Sep 2021
About the Episode
An interview with Natalie Furness. Natalie is a marketing consultant and company founder. Initially frustrated by not being a coder, she embraced the thriving No-Code community and realised that she could solve customer problems and build solutions anyway. Now she's started Minimum Viable Stack as an umbrella firm for a growing number of No-Code products.
We speak about a lot, including:
- How she got started in marketing, where her entrepreneurial streak came from, and whether it's easier to market your own products or products by other people
- Her constant need to invent new things & how she balances this with focusing on what can truly make an impact
- The origin story behind Minimum Viable Stack and how she met her co-founder on Twitter (and who has the most followers)
- How her time marketing blockchain products gave her experience with disruptive tech and ensuring the message was focused on the users not the tech
- How she thought you needed to be able to code to build a tech business, and how a chance introduction to the No-Code community on Twitter made her realise this was not true
- The passion for automating repetitive tasks that led her to create two No-Code SaaS solutions, UXFramed and ScopeDone
- Whether you need to explore the entire universe of No-Code tools & whether she has settled on her own minimum viable stack
- Any barriers with No-Code solutions, and how working in No-Code has actually helped her learn to code
- Advice on how to get into building No-Code solutions yourself, and the importance of validating that you're solving real user problems
And much more!
