Projects

Code-Free Startup

 Code-Free Startup was launched May 31, 2016 and made over $250’000 in revenue.

After building the product initially for a small group of Bubble users, he launched on Product Hunt and was overwhelmed by the response. 1000 upvotes, $3k in monthly revenue overnight.  After the launch, he spent the next 8 months building out content and focusing on sustainable growth.

Code-Free Startup was acquired in 2018.

Reddit Threads

He shared his early experiences on Reddit.

  • Built an education platform to teach non-coders how to build their MVP with tools like Zapier, Blockspring and Bubble. First week live, just hit $1K MRR and I’m really tired
  • Posted here 8 months ago when I hit $1k/month in revenue. Just hit $10k/m, still don’t know what I’m doing. Some random thoughts

Launching Myself

Brent found that he had fallen into the trap many founders can’t avoid: it’s just hard to kill your darlings. He created a site to grade his many projects.
