From Coffee Shop Sketches to Funded Launches

Why Founders Are Skipping Traditional Tech Paths

Historically, non-technical entrepreneurs faced major barriers: high development costs, long timelines, and risk of miscommunication with engineering teams. That’s shifting now thanks to tools like Bubble, Glide, and Zapier, which allow real product-building without “traditional code.”

Research confirms this trend: founders increasingly adopt low-code / no-code platforms for prototyping and experimentation. (ResearchGate)

A recent study also shows that no-code is prized for speed, cost savings, and enabling non-technical founders to validate ideas without heavy upfront investment. (ResearchGate)

The Power of No-Code + AI: Speed + Flexibility

Consider Formula Bot, which launched using Bubble, Stripe, and email automation, and quickly gained traction with minimal costs.

Or Unqork, the no-code enterprise platform used by New York City to build COVID-19 response portals.

Behind the scenes, Singular Innovation has supported similar launches. In one Airtable case study, Singular helped a growing digital team cut QA times by 50%, enabling a 10x campaign scale—without adding headcount.
