About The Customer

The Experience Co. is an Indian company that hosts various projects and events for creative professionals. The company primarily works with artists, musicians, filmmakers, photographers, chefs, storytellers, fashion designers, and other creative leaders. The Experience Co. is committed to providing a platform where these creative professionals can network, discover various projects and events, and apply to participate in these events. The company is bootstrapped and was previously managing its invite-only application process through five different tools before deciding to build a web application on Bubble.

The Challenge

The Experience Co., a company that hosts various projects and events for creative professionals in India, was facing a significant challenge in managing its invite-only application process. The company was using five different tools, including Typeform, Integromat, Google Sheets, Sendgrid, and Mailchimp, to manage the application process. This approach was not only complex and prone to human errors but also time-consuming, with the team spending at least three hours per day managing the process. Additionally, as a bootstrapped company, The Experience Co. was reluctant to invest in an app development agency. Despite these challenges, the company was committed to providing a seamless user experience for its community of artists, musicians, filmmakers, photographers, chefs, storytellers, fashion designers, and other creative leaders.

The Solution

The Experience Co. decided to build a web application on Bubble, a leading no-code platform. The initial need was for a simple sign-up button, but the company ended up building a fully-fledged app on Bubble's extensive no-code platform. The app allows users to discover and sign up for various projects and events, including road trips, festivals, residencies, and adventures in India and South East Asia. The founder of The Experience Co., Jay Ahya, was able to code the app despite not being a coder, demonstrating the accessibility and ease of use of Bubble's platform. The company also plans to expand the app into a collaboration platform for creators in South East Asia.

Operational Impact

The Experience Co. has successfully streamlined its application process by building a web application on Bubble. The new app has not only simplified the application process but also enhanced the user experience, allowing creative professionals to easily discover and sign up for various projects and events. The company has also successfully launched a new project, Tribe House, a creative lab in nature for creators, rebels, and changemakers, with users applying through the app. The success of the app has inspired the company to plan for its expansion into a collaboration platform for creators in South East Asia.

Built a fully-fledged app without the need for an app development agency, saving on potential development costs.
