For a long time, I wanted to develop an educational app for young entrepreneurs, startup founders, and startup teams, to help them especially at the start of their journey. This app is curated for entrepreneurs who are looking to start a company as well as those in the process of building one.

My vision for Startup 101 was clear, what I looked at in my app was these:

  • I wanted to create multimedia lessons, texts, images, videos, slides, everything
  • I wanted to be able to create a new lesson in less than 5 minutes (I’m busy!)
  • I wanted to be able to create new lessons and update my app via mobile phone, on the go
  • I wanted to be able to add new lessons and updating my app without forcing my audience to update my app (Automatic updates)
  • I wanted to be able to create quizzes for my audience, both inside the lessons and as stand-alone quizzes
  • I wanted to provide answer sheets and instructions for my quizzes as well
  • I wanted to be able to categorize my lessons and make them easy to follow
  • I wanted to invite my colleagues to create additional lessons and collaborate with me
  • Maybe the most important one: I wanted for it to be interactive and BEAUTIFUL AS FU**!
  • And I wanted all of these, without writing any code.

Developing and design a stunning mobile application that provides all of the above, is hard work and to be honest, really expensive. So I decided to do this with a no-code platform. Fortunately, Formaloo no-code app builder, made all of my dreams possible!

I created the first version of my app with 7 lessons (flashcards) in just 28 minutes! From nothing to a content-ready, full-fledge APK file, ready to be uploaded in Google Play is truly amazing.

And no, it’s not just a “Webview” on your mobile phones, it’s a fully native mobile application with amazing speed, design, and great infrastructure.

After that, without the need to worry about the design or development, I 100% focused on curating new content that benefits my audience, the startup enthusiasts! If you’re one, download Startup 101 right now:
