Help creative studios generate new business consistently.
How to read this
Don't copy the product. Copy the pattern.
Notice the constraint, the stack pick, the narrow launch, and what they kept building after the first version went live. That's the real playbook.
What's your personal background? What motivated you to start your own company?
I actually bought this company from a friend who was looking for a career change. I've always had an entrepreneurial mind because my dad was self-employed, so this was a great opportunity.
What no code tool(s) did you use to build OnRamp Data and what purpose did each play in the final product?
Each client requires a slightly different solution, but my main tools are Zapier, Gmail, Growbots for email prospecting, and Pipedrive for CRM.
How do you attract customers?
I send email outreach directly to prospects that I've identified who might be a good fit.
What are the biggest challenges you've overcome building OnRamp Data?
My biggest challenge right now is producing results in the time of COVID. Sales is changing rapidly and I often find that the tactics that worked a few months ago need to be updated for the new situation!
What's your advice for non-technical people who want to start a company?
My advice is to start with the smallest possible version of your idea. Try one client at a time, one problem at a time. Don't get so hung up on your final vision that you don't ever make any progress.
What are your future plans for OnRamp Data?
I plan to start offering Webflow development for my clients who have high-end motion design to showcase.
How do you think the rise of no code tools will impact entrepreneurship?
I think more and more people will start to understand how coding & the internet actually work, which will lead to a greater ability to come up with new ideas. On top of that, no-code also makes it easy for people to BUILD those ideas.
