Building tech can be slow and expensive. But it doesn’t have to be, thanks to this no-code platform that allows you to build digital products, better and faster.
⚾ The Elevator Pitch
The traditional web application system runs on a “build and manage” scheme. This requires a full programming team, a server, and tons of other management roles. Imagine how many startups could be built if hundreds or thousands of people could code? How many bureaucratic processes could be fixed if these startups have something affordable on their hand?
Bubble allows you to build fully-functional web apps by offering design freedom without any coding knowledge. Their intuitive platform lets you create custom layouts with tons of integrations.

🔍 Why we like it
🛠 The no-code generation has arrived
As technology advances, “no-code platforms” have been on the rise. These tools make users feel like they have “superpowers”. Projects that once took huge teams and organizations can be now done with a few clicks. Bubble, being the Pioneer is getting more and more traction among users.
🛁 They are niche-focused and have dedicated goals
Bubble’s focus has been on helping people turn their ideas into reality. Unlike other no-code platforms, Bubble is focused on startups. “We’re not trying to upmarket just yet, we would like to follow the same strategy as Stripe and AWS”, said Straschnov, co-founder of Bubble. Bubble has seen an immediate bump and tripled its revenue in just one year.
📚 They are investing heavily into education…and have a marketplace
After raising $100M in funding, Bubble is looking to invest heavily into team growth and education. While the platform is easy to use, there are a lot of people who still don’t know about what “no-code” is. So, they created videos, documentation, and even an academy to help people learn. The new funding also helped them launch a marketplace where users can find templates, plugins, and other services to create a vibrant ecosystem.
