  it's very common now to have your your front-end built through a tool like Squarespace or web flow and then have your devs separately... they can make any changes they need to in web flow or Squarespace and then the developers can stick to the heavy hitting stuff

• bullish endorsement Unattributed

  I love web flow or bubble those are two very popular ones you can you can very easily create a lite version of your app before even hiring a dev team

• neutral fact_claim Unattributed

  you know instead of doing that even you could just outsource it and you know no we talked about this in our team conversation but outsourcing to someone who may you know only be fifteen to twenty dollars an hour or short you know in Serbia or whatever we do have that we have a serbian designer right now it's fifteen or twenty bucks an hour doing a great job

  we did clean up the cap table a little bit okay say that nice that's a great innovation in Silicon Valley letting the founders clean up the cap table take a little second there it takes the edge off for all that suffering and let you go long

• bullish assessment Vlad Magdalin

  the big conversation is not about revenue they big conversation it's it's actually we're thinking about things that will actually decrease revenue potentially because we let go for adoption god the whole the whole equation here is how do we maximize wet flows long-term mission how do we get a lot more people creating more software sooner learn how to do that it's almost like the Microsoft strategy when they let like a software be pirated yeah office was like yeah if you want to go for it right w

  whereas my first conversation with Arun was like that's interesting this is great but you can really change the world with taking this way that you can apply no code to web sites and apply to all software you can get like you said millions of new products being created

  almost all conversation I had with VCs were hey great this Web flow thing is working like web website design website publishing you all are disrupting WordPress and look at how many web sites like you now power 0.005% of the internet but WordPress owns 38 percent look at that opportunity yeah it's so massive I can go after Shopify etc you can go up market you can build an enterprise sales team it's all about like alright here's this thing working let's just pour more money into it right

  without the 1.5 you wouldn't imagine we wouldn't have been short yeah we would have had to you wouldn't have to write exactly would have missed the runway

• neutral fact_claim Vlad Magdalin

  that 1.5 eventually about a year and a half to two years later that funded the creation of our visual CMS

• neutral fact_claim Vlad Magdalin

  one of the insider investors sort of doubled down and put another 1.5

• neutral fact_claim Vlad Magdalin

  we raised one point four

• neutral fact_claim Vlad Magdalin

  half of investors saying hey this is like too complicated for me to understand you know this is not it's not easy to use right because it's what flows a powerful tool and we had the on the other side we had this just isn't powerful enough because we had a developer try it out and it just doesn't do anything else

  they are also part of a new movement I call the Pegasus movement ... founders who are so good at what they do so capital efficient and so fearless in charging for their products and having profits that they can fly above the unicorns and the venture capitalists and skip rounds of funding

• bullish endorsement Jason Calacanis

  the leader of the no code movement Vlad Magdalene is on the program today and he is the CEO and co-founder of web flow

• bullish endorsement Emmanuel Straschnov

  tools like web Pro and zapier have also shown that it's actually possible to have non-technical people do real things and then we're are complex things

• bullish assessment Emmanuel Straschnov

  I think you and web flow are probably the most advanced tools for building websites now

• neutral fact_claim Jason Calacanis

  But some companies like Webflow, Bubble, Calm.com, Notion have skipped rounds of funding.

  So here I'm just on Webflow's template website, and you can see they've got beautiful designs here. I'm in one example called London, and I can buy this if I want to use it. You can see it looks like a very professional website here. It's got nice animations, nice colors. And this looks like, you know, it would cost tens of thousands of dollars to build, but you can replicate this with just a click of a button.

  The first is Webflow, which is the visual no-code website designer that I mentioned earlier. And this is popular now because you can customize fully, and they've got beautiful templates.
