Building MVPs in 2-3 weeks | Passionate No-Coder โ๏ธ | Startups & Productivity Junkie ๐ | ex-GrowthMentor ๐
Spyros was fantastic. Before our call, he reviewed my issue and notes and provided great suggestions for solving the issue I presented. I needed some no-code support building out a process with zero tech. During the call, he conducted additional research to give me a comprehensive answer, outlined easy next steps, and even offered post-call support to ensure my problem was fully resolved.
Spyros has been unbelievably helpful in answering our questions regarding no-code for our MVP, so much so that we are looking to work with him as our developer. I couldn't recommend it enough.
Great session with Spyros โย first, he's a true topical expert who knows the area on a very deep level. Then, he's not afraid to challenge your assumptions, which is always very valuable. And finally, he offered his (and his team's) help post-session. Highly recommended!
Hi! Spyros here, digital nomad, currently in Greece ๐ฌ๐ท My favorite word is "Efharisto" which means ๐ "Thank you" ๐ in Greek. GrowthMentor is one of the best things that happened in my life. No jokes! Hint 1: I've messed up more than enough times to learn a few stuff, and a little more Hint 2: I help people launch their MVPs in weeks and GTM quickly Recent Experiences: - MVP Builder (since Feb, 2023 - more coming soon) - Head of Content at GrowthMentor (best team ever) - Team Leader at Pop2See team of Robotics (2nd place at World Robot Olympiad) - More on LinkedIn Also: - No Code & MVPs (my thing in the last few years, & Automation & Marketing Automation) - Startups (I have taken 5 projects in the market, and established a non-profit) - Go To Market, Content Marketing, and User Research, especially for early stages - Mindset Coaching, Leadership, Mental Health (this is what I spend my time studying) - Strategy, Fundraising, and again Startups Ping me if you think I could be of help ๐
Huge fan of bootstrapping, having grown in a very business-oriented environment and having bootstrapped everything I've developed. I enjoy talking about MVPs, Go To Market (GTM) asap, and how no coding adds a twist in all these! Also: User Research, Validation, Customer Interviews, Jobs To Be Done
Grew my team to 12 people in summer 2021 and have led more than 50 people in total. Currently leading a team of 12 (Pop2See) and a team of 10 (low coders). Have managed various volunteers in my non-profit experiences. I geek out when it comes to human relationships, mental health, inspiring and supporting others!
I learned Content Marketing while working with my hero at GrowthMentor. I was leading the content operations and was involved in the content strategy, incl. keyword research, outlines, content planning, SEO, workshops, podcasts, videos, blog posts & glossary, social media, coordinating the relevant team, etc.
I have messed up a few product launches, and the missing key was the GTM strategy. Prioritization of efforts, channels, and goals is key. Tend to prefer software products and digital channels, but I've run offline marketing campaigns as well. Big fan of Product Hunt and Product Hunt Launches.
I have founded more than 6 startups/projects, and worked with 30+ teams in the last 5 years. Not doing proper validation is the top mistake I've made, and that's why I've spent my time in creating b...s... and taking non-sense VPs to the market. Let's connect if you want to learn what to avoid, or how to do it properly.
I am a GEEK when it comes to mindset, mental health, and emotions (Favorite book: The Art of Not Giving a F...). Building habits (from sleep to work), priorities for life or work, scheduling, productivity hacks (my life lives in Notion). This is my ultimate hobby.
This is my thing, what I know best. I have broad experiences with No Coding tools, and relevant automation which can include marketing automation as well. MVPs, Automation, Efficiency. Ping me to learn more! Notion, Bubble, GlideApps, Carrd, Flutterflow, Airtable, Google Sheets, Zapier, and also Drip, Woodpecker, Unbounce etc
I've launched a few early-stage startups/products, worked with 30+ others, and messed up a few times. I have interviewed 10+ founders of Products of the Day at Product Hunt, and have created a long guide on the topic, while at GrowthMentor.
I apply the Lean Startup as a framework in my off-work life as well. That's how I defined my remote work-setup. I have also led remote teams with 5-15 members (mostly interns). So engagement, communication, team building, trust, I've got these figured out.
I can help with your stack, or figure out how to do what. My story: I've become a ToolsPerson. When no Coding came in my life and made me a No Code Enthusiast. Then Foti brought marketing into my life and I started using various tools across the board. My guilty pleasure is Tool Time Tim (check Tim Cakir-mentor). Tools I use / like: Google Workspace, Google Sheets, GoZen, Slack, Typeform, Carrd, Flutterflow, Bubble, WeWeb, and many others
User Research is suuuuch a great tool for your startup. I've executed User Research interviews, both for new products and existing ones, having invested time in planning, rewards, scripts & execution, Jobs To Be Done etc.
Expert in Glide :) using it since 2020 I have built more than 10 apps on the platform. Happy to help you! Great to launch something quickly and start testing!
Drip is a powerhouse when it comes to email marketing and flows. I've used it for Workflows (insane), Newsletters, Single Series, mostly with tags to separate audiences and interests.
I live in Notion! No jokes :) I have been using Notion for quite some time, mostly for my daily agendas, projects, company management and wiki, tracking my goals etc
Unbounce was the basis of the GrowthMentor workshops. So I have been creating, editing, and upgrading pages for quite some time, using low-code as well.
Have been using it for quite some time to automate tasks and flows connecting various tools, and make my startup life more efficient! I think it's the ULTIMATE no code tool
Have taken a Travel-Tech startup in the market, see below! 15K users in 2022, almost no marketing efforts. Working in a little bit of everything: No Coding, Go To Market, Sales, Marketing & Growth, Product Management, Business Model Validation, Legal & Accounting
I have worked on a few non-profit EdTech projects. Mostly on the Product/VP/Solution side. Relevant Experiences: Solution Architecture, Idea Validation, Fundraising, Strategy, Pitching
Quite passionate about the industry. I was doing a little bit of everything when on Foti's side at GrowthMentor. And I've launched a few SaaS (LegalTech, TravelTech).
I have been creating no code / low code projects since 2019, worked with 30+ teams. Prioritization for optimal ROI, testing and validating (and pivoting), early revenue, GTM and testing are my everyday life!
