$100,000 with 2 Google Sheets

Flexiple is a kind of match-making service for freelancers and tech companies. They’ve been around for about 5 years and did +$3 million in revenue in 2021.

Co-founder Karthik Sridharan recently shared in an interview…

we got the first $100,000 just by using Google Sheets!

We had two sheets, one called ‘Companies’ and other, ‘Freelancers’. We used to talk to them, note down their names and details, and then manually match companies to freelancers, send them emails, make invoices and so on.

From wanting to make a very scalable product, we instead ended up with something very manual… But when these processes began getting too tedious, we decided to use no-code wherever we faced manual bottlenecks.

Apparently their no-code tech stack costs them only $100/month but helped them generate that +$3 million last year 🤯
