Key outcomes
Understanding the no-code world
What can you do with no-code and when is code necessary? What is the right tool for your business and how much time should you spend on them? When does it make sense to outsource? You will get a clear idea of what can you accomplish with no-code tools after the course.

Meet your instructor
Sonali Quantius, Ph.D.
Digital Health Entrepreneur
I am a scientist with a background in data science. As a digital health entrepreneur and domain expert, I had several ideas but was frustrated because I couldn't find a tech co-founder who could build the products.
Then, I stumbled upon the wonderful world of no-code tools and since then, I have created the MVP for my main business, along with an animal rescue app, a female founder matching app, neighborhood directory app, among others and there is nothing to stop me now.
I spent years learning about these tools from scratch and now I am distilling my extensive knowledge into this practical course so that you can quickly build and test out your ideas without spending a lot of resources and time.
You can learn more about me here.
Course syllabus
01
Kick-off, get to know your cohort and deep dive into the no-code world
The magic of a cohort-based course is in its community! Get to know the other entrepreneurs, makers, and solopreneurs and create a valuable network. We will dive deep into the no-code world and explore the benefits and limitations of using various no-code tools: how we can use them for different kinds of products and what is right for your business
02
Dive right in!
In this lesson, we will deep dive into what makes a successful MVP and what are the 'Minimum Valuable Features' that we need for your own product. If you already have an idea, we will tease out the features that you need to build in the next few weeks
03
Building the product backend
Now it starts getting exciting - this week, we will learn how to create the backend for your app - what is under the hood, so to speak. What kind of data is needed, how to structure it, and how to optimize it? We will learn about the pros and cons of using different databases for storage and retrieval and build your own.
04
Building the product frontend
We will finish building the app by learning about the basic framework for building an app without code. We will learn about the drag & drop reusable building blocks to create your app’s interface and how to interact with the database to display the right information when needed. And just like that, you have a minimal app that you can launch!
