The Accelerator Conundrum: Bootstrapping Playbook for Non-technical Founders

Forget the old rules. A Brazilian EdTech, Qconcursos (500k users), rebuilt their premium platform with Lovable (no-code) in 2 weeks. The result? $3M revenue in 48 hours.

This isn’t a startup fairytale. It’s an established business leveraging AI & no-code to unlock massive revenue from an existing base. The lesson for all founders, especially non-technical: rapid validation and real revenue are within reach.

No, you don’t need $3M in 48 hours. Aim for $100K MRR with validated GTM and repeatability.

How? The 1Mby1M Premium Accelerator Playbook:

1. Ideation, Positioning, Validation: Dive deep using our Core Curriculum. No code, no outsourced MVP yet.
2. Learn from Experienced Entrepreneurs: Absorb insights from 1Mby1M case studies.
3. Refine Your Thesis: Use Private Roundtables to stress-test your idea. Entrepreneurship is a 5-10 year commitment. Is your idea worthy?
4. Immerse in Customers: Talk to 50+ ideal customers. Understand their pain.
5. Positioning with Sramana: Process customer feedback at our private roundtables to nail your positioning.
6. Market & Competition: Master Market Sizing and Competitive Analysis from our curriculum. Avoid blind spots. Iterate in roundtables with Sramana.
7. Strategic Crossroads: Is this the business? Blitzscale to Unicorn or Bootstrap to Exit? Or just build organically? Define your path.

Build Your Vision:

Once your strategy is locked, build your MVP with no-code tools like Lovable (DIY or hire a Lovable dev via Upwork). 

Remember those 50 customers? They should be ready to pay even if you need to still build the full product on a scalable architecture. 

For that, you will need a software strategy that we can help you develop.

We guide you intensely on GTM, customer acquisition, fundraising, and even exit strategy.

You can stay in the program for 1, 2, 3 years or more.
