"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."
"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!"
"The Lightning Team are real hustlers with lived startup experience. They helped us get up and running quickly!"
"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."
"Just wanted to say a big thanks to you, Dave and Claire. I got so much out of the program..."

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

"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..."
