Arnaud Ayramdjan: Nocode has accelerated the growth of his business!

His background

In the vast landscape of inspiring entrepreneurs, Arnaud Ayramdjan stands out for his exceptional career path, which has taken him from studies in applied mathematics through real estate development to the creation of a platform with over 80,000 users. At the age of 33, this experienced entrepreneur has brilliantly carved out a place for himself in the world of technology, while demonstrating extraordinary perseverance and creativity!
‍

Arnaud began his academic career with a bachelor's and master's degree in applied mathematics, a solid foundation that would later prove crucial in his exploration of the world of technology. However, his first steps in the professional world led him to real estate development, a field seemingly far removed from that of tech. As a salesman, he acquired essential skills in customer management and customer relations, laying the foundations for an in-depth understanding of market needs.
‍

The turning point in Arnaud's career came in September 2019, when he launched his own platform, Bunch'm, an app designed to sublimate your events through impeccable organization. Initially focused on the B2C market, in particular events such as weddings, Bunch'm quickly attracted attention for its innovative approach. The company thrived for four long years, broadening its horizons to include both B2C and B2B customers, including household names such as Le Figaro and Orange.
‍

Recognition of his talent was not limited to Bunch'm users. Tech giants such as Google have spotted his start-up as having strong growth potential! 

This recognition opened the doors to major benefits, such as months of free advertising and SEO. The impact of his work was also recognized by Facebook, which offered him financial support, including a grant aimed at helping start-ups affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
‍

Despite a solid base of 80,000 users, Arnaud faced a major challenge. Growth was stagnating, "the subscription price wasn't high enough to make it really profitable", and he was desperate to add further value to his platform. Far from being discouraged, Arnaud explored the possibility of selling his business. His ambitions were high, aiming for partnerships with well-known companies such as Pepsi, Coca-Cola and champagne brands. 

His idea was to create a white-label app by these major companies, offering an exclusive platform for their content and establishing a direct link with their end consumers.
‍

Unfortunately, this attempt was unsuccessful, and Arnaud had to face this failure with resilience. His concept of enabling "brand safety" by transforming every company into its own media didn't resonate with the world of food and retail giants. However, far from giving up, Arnaud took this opportunity to reinvent himself as a freelancer, opening a new chapter in his impressive entrepreneurial career.

Discovering the Nocode

His ingenious platform, initially created in code, over time required too many technical resources. Faced with this challenge, Arnaud switched to Nocode to increase the versatility of his platform. Thanks to this transition, he was able to hone his skills in a number of areas, such as growth hacking, scrapping, and setting up campaigns using tools such as PhantomBuster. This last skill enabled Arnaud to retrieve leads and prospects on LinkedIn.

This dive into the world of Nocode quickly captivated Arnaud, paving the way for the discovery of tools such as Zapier, Make, Airtable, Xano, WeWeb, and Flutterflow.
‍

As project manager of his own company, Arnaud emphasizes the multifunctional role one assumes as a founder: "When you found a company, you occupy a bit of every position!" 

He expresses a desire to help companies transform their projects into concrete products, whether it's the creation of a CRM or other initiatives. 

For him, the key lies in transforming an initial idea into something tangible, "assignments can vary from pure execution to more concrete roles!"
‍

As a freelancer specializing in Nocode automation, Arnaud broadens his scope of action by becoming a teacher for Batch 4 ofAlegria.academy's work-study diploma course. This educational experience is just one facet of his commitment, for since May, he has held the position of Chief Technical Officer (Director of New Technologies) at Papa in Shape, a company for which he carries out assignments while continuing to be a trainer!
‍

Arnaud actively uses Nocode on a daily basis, notably at Papa in Shape, where he has developed a fully customized CRM. 

As our expert wears two hats, he is always ready to share his experience and know-how with his students.
‍

Indeed, he has found an infallible way to help his students progress, while putting his own skills into practice. To overcome his enormous workload, he often calls on them to help him. In this way, his students can continuously improve, become more autonomous and, above all, project themselves into the professional life to which they aspire.
‍

Currently, he's starting a new assignment for a customer, in collaboration with his Alegria.academy students, developing an application. This work is akin to a tutored project, which couldn't be more concrete!
‍

This project is carried out using tools such as Xano, Flutterflow, WeWeb, and Make, with an impressive 3 million operations per month on the latter!
‍

This initiative, which benefits customers, Alegria.academy and its students, embodies Arnaud's vision for turning innovative ideas into reality for the benefit of all involved.
‍

What he's proud of

Arnaud values his small daily victories, such as unblocking a complex scenario, as highly as his major achievements in his entrepreneurial journey. "What I'm proud of is all the work I've accomplished!"

"My greatest pride is starting from scratch and completing a whole bunch of projects." For him, every stage of his work as a freelancer and trainer, from day 1 to kick-off to delivery, represents an achievement. "Working as a team, overcoming challenges and seeing projects take shape is a source of unparalleled satisfaction."
‍

At the heart of his recent achievements is Papa in Shape, a start-up of which he is an integral part, along with many other talented professionals. Arnaud describes the venture as a "great success story" and highlights the fact that, in less than two years, the start-up has grown to almost 100 internal members, a feat made all the more remarkable by the fact that it was achieved without any fund-raising! His role as CTO is to drive this growth even further, and that's exactly what he intends to do! With a technical stack focused more on Airtable and Make, his company is gradually migrating to Xano, WeWeb and Flutterflow, retaining the use of Make.
‍

Collaboration within the Papa in Shape team is a central element of Arnaud's pride. He shares his enthusiasm by declaring, "Every month we reach our goals, all together. There's nothing more satisfying than being part of this team!"
‍

Prior to his involvement with this start-up, Arnaud gained considerable experience in the Start-up Leadership Program, which he also completed with Francis, CEO and co-founder ofAlegria.group.
‍

Its cheat code

His first"cheat code" is a key strategy for tackling very large projects: "You can't be afraid to cut things up into very small pieces." Arnaud insists on the importance of breaking down projects into more manageable tasks, even the most monumental ones. For him, the approach is to start at the beginning, test each feature, and progress little by little. The key lies in perseverance and method, taking the time to test every aspect, even the smallest details.
‍

This meticulous approach not only guarantees the quality of the work, but also enables any errors or shortcomings to be identified quickly, contributing to smooth, efficient project progress!

His advice for those who want to get started 

His first piece of advice is simple but powerful: "Don't be afraid to get started, to take the plunge!" Arnaud understands that getting started can be disconcerting, but he insists on the importance of overcoming that initial apprehension.

He also stresses the importance of Nocode, whether you're a freelancer or part of a company. Arnaud sees Nocode as a rewarding playground, where every success brings increasing satisfaction over time!

Arnaud highlights the training opportunities offered by Alegria.academy, stressing the importance of relying on quality educational resources to acquire the necessary skills. These training courses, he believes, are a springboard to mastering AI and Nocode and the countless possibilities they offer.
‍

With this kind advice, Arnaud Ayramdjan actively encourages the next generation of Nocode creators, freelancers, and enthusiasts to embrace learning, overcome challenges, and discover the rewarding satisfaction of creating without code!
‍

What next?

In a burst of determination and ambition, Arnaud Ayramdjan shares his aspirations for the future, underlining his desire to be part of a stimulating and collaborative professional trajectory.
‍

For Arnaud, the future lies within a dynamic, high-performance company, where he can flourish as part of an exceptional team. He expresses his desire to no longer be a "solopreneur", but rather to be part of a collective entity where the exchange of ideas and collaboration are at the heart of success.
‍

His commitment to Papa in Shape is evident in his words, expressing his desire to stay with this company and take it to new heights, right up to an eventual IPO. Arnaud nurtures the ambition to push boundaries, innovate and drive his company through market evolutions, his goal is to lead the company to a true mutation!
