For All Aspiring Entrepreneurs Who Can't Code To Save Their Lives

Read in app

confused man computerHow many times have you thought:

I'd be an entrepreneur if only I could code.

Many people aspire to work for themselves but they lack technical skills. They can't make a prototype and they don't know anyone who can build one.

Amit Klein is banking on people just like that to make his latest company, Startup Giraffe, a success.  

Startup Giraffe solves the execution problem. It helps people turn ideas into actual products.

"We’ll build the first version of your startup for cash and a small slice of equity," Klein says.

"Our goal is to simplify and expedite the development process for entrepreneurs.  Here’s how we do it:

  1. We work with entrepreneurs to define their minimum viable product, or the simplest product they need to test their market assumptions.
  2. We collaborate with entrepreneurs on wireframes and graphic design
  3. We build the web or mobile application rapidly (typically 2-3 weeks)"

After the prototype has been built, Klein will continue to offer help as needed. Klein's startup is similar to AdMob founder Omar Hamoui's Churn Labs except Klein is offering an actual service.

So corporate dreamers, no more excuses. Get out there and start pounding the startup pavement.
