"10 weeks ago if you told me I could build an app I would have thought you were talking to someone else. Not anymore. As a non-technical person, the Lightning Accelerator was a game changer."

Andrew Smith

Co-Founder of Selsus

"Just wanted to say a big thanks to you, Dave and Claire. I got so much out of the program."

Marina Chelak

Program Coordinator at Melbourne University - Melbourne Accelerator Program

"Lightning Products were awesome to work with. They ran an amazing webinar which helped our founders understand the power of NoCode and how they can quickly validate and get their ideas off the ground. Would definitely recommend them to others."

Steph Chan

Delivery Lead at RMIT

"Lightning Products delivered an incredible in-person workshop for our Activator Founders, diving deep into NoCode tools, startup strategies and MVP Development. We have many non-technical founders who are unsure of their options to build and ultimately launch their MVP. Dave gave our founders the practical skills through live demos, their approach made complex concepts easy to grasp, and the energy in the room was electric. We’d absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to empower early-stage founders with actionable insights!"

Jian Wei Hoh  

Founder and CEO of VIIZR a Ford backed company (in Sllicon Valley)

"The Lightning Team are real hustlers with lived startup experience. They helped us get up and running quickly!"

David Taing

 

"I really love how scrappy using Google Slides for prototyping is. And I was thinking more bout in terms of Risk vs. Reward. Simplifiction, but I spend a few hours of my time (per iteration) and I learn. I miht discover some "Hell Nos"/ Or I spend $20k as Dave said. Whole lotta risk, with the same reward (or perhaps a marginally better reward).

Hey, even as a developer, it is still cheaper for me to validate via Google Slides than it is for me to build it. Cool stuff! Excited to see what you guys come up with for the homework this week."

“Lightning Products ran an awesome product workshop on the power of NoCode tools. The founders got a lot out of the sessions and there were tons of actionable ideas on how to get started and launch your MVP”.

"I actually wanted to learn more than what was taught. I wanted to at least understand some of the basics. Then I bought UI / UX design course

"Dave McManus has been really helpful to Climate Salad with linking all our systems up!"

Josh Moore

Founder of Wattworks

"I'm so glad I made the decision to test the water with Lightning Accelerator. Since joining I've been so impressed by the knowledge, content and insights Dave and the rest of the community bring to my experiences as a founder.
If you're considering it, it's worth joining."

Matt Woodward

 Founder of Scalr

"The Lightning Accelerator was incredible. I helped me take my idea and build it in Bubble.io within 8 weeks. I learned so much about the fundamentals of building software. It was empowering as I've been a tech recruiter sitting on the sidelines for so many years. Would recommend it to anyone trying to launch their own business."

Lucy Kough

Builder of brands, writer of things, fan of kindness

"10 weeks ago if you told me I could build an app I would have thought you were talking to someone else. Not anymore. As a non technical founder, learning no code tools like bubble.io has been invaluable.

Pretty excited to take it for a test drive this arvo. There will be some squeaks. Thanks to Dave McManus of Lightning Ventures!

Mereki Nieman

Founder of Molli

"I am keen to showcase Molli today at the Lightning Products ⚡️ Demo Day. Molli is a personal assistant to help older adults to enjoy the foods they love - even when they can no longer prepare meals themselves.

Molli has been built by me using no-code tools nd OpenAI, so there will be lots of bumps. Come along and check out what Molli has to say!

Thanks Dave McManus and Team, and Lucy Kough for all your support along the way..."
