Confronting the Bootstrapped Founder of a $50 Million Dollar No-Code Empire - #1
In today’s episode of In Case You Forgot: The Ownership Economy podcast, I'm joined by Stackby Founder and CEO: Rachit Khator.
"Stackby = A better way to create tools that fit you and your company’s needs."Back in 2016, Rachit was working for a Fortune 500 company in the United States, and like many of us, struggling with spreadsheets to manage his day-to-day work. He was using spreadsheets in every way possible: left, right, up, down, and center, but nothing helped him manage all of the company's internal workflows like everyone wanted and wished was possible (at the time!).
So...
With an eye out to better organize data, collaborate with team members, and automate business processes, Rachit exhausted every tool from spreadsheets and CRMs to the plethora of project management tools - only to realize that none of these tools allow you to customize your workflows the exact way you want for your business.
After talking with over 500 professionals across a wide array of industries, Rachit concluded that most people - from Analysts to CEOs - still heavily rely on spreadsheets to organize their work (except their work isn't really that organized!).
With that, an idea emerged:
"How about we build a tool that is as easy to use as a spreadsheet but empowers non-technical users to create their own software the way they want?"
And that's exactly what he did!
Tune in to this podcast episode and learn how Stackby grew from an idea to one of the most popular no-code tools in the world and has already enabled over 10,000 companies across 150+ countries to create their own (super meta - I know!) no-code tools & manage their work in a much better way...
