Hey, I'm Ben, the founder and CEO of Makerpad - #1 no-code educational community. I raised a seed round from Earnest Capital, Andrew Wilkinson, Sahil Lavingia, Ross Mason, and others. In 2021, Zapier acquired Makerpad and I continue to run the company from within Zapier. Before I started Makerpad, I ran community at Product Hunt where we were acquired by AngelList.

I am known as a pioneer and expert leader in the no-code space.

I am a founder that has raised from investors and had a very successful exit.

I have a strong network among VCs, angels and founders - specifically in the no-code/low-code space.

Makerpad is the central hub for the no-code community.

Companies we're interested in; no-code/low-code, creator tools, internal tools, JAMstack, and automation. Generally, companies that enable users to write less, or even zero, code.

The next big shift in the internet revolution is 'no-code/low-code'. Many people misunderstand its meaning, but the importance of democratising software development is understood widely. We no longer code in 0's and 1's. No-code/low-code is the next abstraction layer which unlocks the potential for everyone to build on the internet.

The fund will invest $10k-$50k in early-stage companies.

LPs will receive quarterly updates on the portfolio
