No-Code
If you are an entrepreneur or non-technical founder planning to launch a startup in the current business landscape, you should be aware of the benefits of utilising no-code.
No-code tools are allowing founders everywhere to build MVPs for their startups and take their product to market within just weeks. Better yet, they are able to do so with significantly decreased time and financial investments than ever before, no technical co-founder or developer necessary.
Luckily, there is no shortage of cracking no-code tools - so much so that choosing the best one for your startup’s needs can be quite intimidating. We’ve compiled the top 10 no-code tools that have helped startups everywhere thrive throughout the year that was 2020.
1. Bubble
It is no secret that Bubble is our favourite no-code tool at MLabs. We feel so strongly about this platform that we even offer a No-Code Bubble Bootcamp.
Bubble allows simple drag-and-drop functionalities and widgets for any non-technical founder looking to build a web app, be it desktop or mobile. If you’re looking for a simple user experience for building your startup's MVP, Bubble is the tool for you.

Appsheet is a brilliant option for any founders interested in developing an app for business use cases, such as CRM or project management. Users benefit from streamlined data collection and analytics, collaboration, and machine learning intelligence.
3. Salesforce
Salesforce is a well-known CRM programme, though many are unaware that it utilises no-code. 2020 was quite the year for Salesforce as it placed 6th on Fortune Magazine’s Fortune List of the Top 100 Companies to Work For.
