You already know no-code tools can build apps. But can they build million-dollar businesses?
Can they handle billion-dollar transactions? Coordinate life-critical operations? Get acquired by major banks?

These six founders didn’t just answer “yes” they proved it. With no coding backgrounds, they used tools like Bubble, Webflow, and Zapier to create companies that raised millions, earned millions, and in some cases… saved lives.

Here’s how they did it, what tools they used, and what it means for your next build.

1. David Foo – Teal ($1M+ Raised)

The Problem: Job hunting is chaotic. Too many applications, resumes, and tabs.
The Solution: Teal an all-in-one job search dashboard.
Tools: Bubble.io, Typeform, HubSpot, Zapier, Webflow
The Result: Raised $1M+, helped thousands land dream jobs.
Quote: “No-code was in our DNA. We needed to move fast.”

2. Eric White – Dividend (Acquired by Fifth Third Bank)

The Problem: Solar panels save money but cost too much upfront.
The Solution: A financing platform for clean energy installations.
Tools: Bubble.io (initial MVP), custom integrations later

Tools: 100% built in Bubble.io
The Result: Multi-million ARR, 120+ medical facilities served.
Impact: Literally saving lives with no-code.

4. Chad Sakonchick – Better Legal ($2.7M ARR)

The Problem: Starting a business legally takes too long and costs too much.
The Solution: Better Legal your entire business setup in 10 minutes for $300.

Key Takeaways

• Speed is Everything: All six got to market fast with no-code.

• Start with the Pain Point: Nail one problem before expanding.

• Scale Later: Most added developers only after hitting real traction.

• Expertise > Tech Skills: Most had no coding experience but deep knowledge in their industry.

• No Excuses: If they can build life-saving systems with no code, what’s stopping you?

What You Should Do Next

• Start small, validate fast

• Master 2–3 tools deeply (Bubble, Webflow, Zapier)

• Don’t wait for perfect just ship

• Plan for custom scaling after PMF

Final Thought:
These founders didn’t wait for the perfect tech stack. They launched. They validated. And they scaled.
