Joshua Tiernan founded No Code Founders, a community for non-technical entrepreneurs building online businesses without code, in January 2020. The platform generates $25,000 per month and boasts a 95% gross margin. The community provides resources, networking opportunities, and support for its members. Joshua, based in Edinburgh, UK, started the community to connect with other no-code enthusiasts and has grown it into a profitable and influential platform. The idea for No Code Founders stemmed from Joshua's own experiences with no-code tools and the desire to connect with like-minded individuals. He initially created a Slack channel, which quickly gained traction and evolved into a comprehensive platform. The community offers various features, including profiles, job listings, and meetups, to support no-code entrepreneurs. No Code Founders has grown organically, with Joshua focusing on engagement rather than aggressive marketing. The community offers several membership plans, including free access and paid options with additional perks. Joshua's strategic approach and commitment to authenticity have contributed to the platform's success.
