            • S1:E3 - "Men do it. So why shouldn't women?" - Lundyn Carter

              This episode is special because it's celebrating Lundyn Carter, our first hero on CodeLess. If you don't understand the definition of a NoCode hero, they are non-technical folks who are using NoCode tools to build businesses. They are bold and finding ways to create value, often using NoCode to jumpstart their journeys. Lundyn is the cofounder of Laine London (www.lainelondon.com), a bridal industry startup, providing bespoke wedding dresses, making dreams come true, and helping couples avoid wedding debt.  

              Laine London has taken a unique approach to NoCode, using digital tech to humanize their business and separate them from the crowd. In this episode, Lauryn provides valuable context for NoCode developers and makers, who want to attain product-market fit with a segment of corporate savvy heroes who stand to supercharge much of the future growth of no code. You can reach out to Lundyn through email ([email protected]), Linkedin, Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest.
