Webinar – MVE to MVP: No-code options for testing your startup product idea with BLDR

Founders with big ideas and no coding skills can create working tech products using tools like Airtable, Glide, and Stacker, but still fall victim to many avoidable pitfalls. Developing a minimum viable product (MVP) is one of the most misunderstood steps in the startup process, and the numerous “no-code” options to build custom software has made it more complicated. Even if you aren’t building a tech-based company, no code options are a great way for existing businesses to add web-based product or service offerings. 

In this webinar, we’ll talk about the difference between MVEs (minimum viable experiments) and MVPs, the pros and cons of various no-code platforms, and when to bring strategists and developers into the process. 

Three Key Takeaways:

• The difference between MVEs (minimum viable experiments) and MVPs
