NoCode Storybook #15: The Rise of the NoCode Titans 🚀

Ayush

Thank you for subscribing to the NoCode Storybook Newsletter where I share thoughts, nuggets and stories from the NoCode community every week. This week, we look at mega-fundraising in December ‘21, Example NoCode projects being built and an interview with Magic CEO Sean Li among other things. Enjoy!

Thought of the Week

December was an absolutely bonkers month for NoCode tech for a number of reasons. I’m calling it the Rise of the NoCode Titans because the amount of fundraising activity that happened was just nuts! It’s crazy to think that Airtable, Polymer, Torq, Platform, Hevo, Querylayer, Contraforce, Thirdweb, Enable.us and others raised significant amounts of money - all just in December 2021!

Top 3 NoCode Funds Raised in December

I think we’re in for a treat and the next 2-3 years are going to represent new valuation highs for some of these companies. Btw, I’m looking to make NoCode Valuations a focus of this newsletter once a month. Let me know what you think 👍 or 👎!

Community

People are building all types of really interesting side hustles! Just look at some of the replies to this tweet I sent on Saturday. Some projects people highlighted include a Project Management planning app, HIPAA Compliant Appointment Widget, Marketplace to connect creators with investors and a Notion Investment Dashboard that hit #2 on Product Hunt!

#029 - A Magic Link to Improve Authentication w/Sean Li - My NoCode Story | Podcast on Spotify

Listen to this episode from My NoCode Story on Spotify. Authentication for Web3. That’s the topic we’re discussing today with the Sean Li, the founder of Magic. I was immediately taken by Sean’s humility and the way he outlined his journey all the way from his early days playing jazz to his 3 person startup getting acquired Docker and finally how he came up with the idea for Magic. We talk specifically about the differences in identity going from Web 2 to Web 3, and how NoCode intersects with the Decentralized web. I think you’re going to really enjoy this deeply personal and impactful conversation with Sean. Let’s get to it!
