When I first started, I was saying, no, I didn't build it to scale efficiently.

I'm going to say that now.

In the moment when I was building it, I thought I was.

But I did not know what I did not know.

And through doing like accelerators and different founder programs and actually work with mentors,

I realized, you know what, I was not building this to scale efficiently.

That's why I kind of had to counsel and take that break, and then when I came back with equity,

keep that in the forefront of my mind.

Now, I feel like we're scaling efficiently.

When I say that means we use a true level of validation from revenue and user growth.

And today how Sidney Davis built the platform to make app dev even easier through no code all this and more on coat story

sydney davis really enjoys art she enjoys immersive exhibits and loves to paint she's a mom and digs spending time with her son and traveling to different exhibits.

She loves the intersection between elemental art, digital art, and art from repurposed elements.

And she introduced me to a new term for immersive exhibits, selfie museums, which I hadn't heard before.

When Sydney was leaving the college world, she was creating apps for customers and validated the need for said customers to have guidance on how to build an app.

After taking a development hiatus, she picked back up on her platform approach in 2019 and eventually started using AI and machine learning to drive an easier, no-code app development experience.

This is the creation story of NixCode.
