Ready to build your MVP to validate your idea and test your product? Most teams think they need an engineer to get past this hurdle. In this workshop, you’ll learn about the no-code tools, mindset, and processes you can use to rapidly turn your idea into a first product you can test with real customers, all without knowing how to code or hiring expensive engineers.
