Last week, UserGuiding team attended TechCrunch Disrupt in Berlin. It was an amazing experience for us. The Startup Battlefield (-I see you, Silicon Valley fans!), the hackathon, the Startup Alley exhibition, amazing speakers... 2 days weren't enough to get to know everyone, but we are very happy that we chose to attend TechCrunch Disrupt and set up our booth there.
We met so many amazing people doing innovative things! Thanks again to everyone who stopped by our booth and met us.
I wanted to create a shortlist of our favorite no-code or low-code startups. After that, I'll note a few things we've learned.
Our favorite no-code and low-code software startups inside Startup Alley
Startup Alley was literally the heart of Disrupt Berlin. 400+ pre-series A startups showcased their latest products and services.
At UserGuiding, we are trying to build the world's most non-developer friendly user onboarding tool and believe that no-code and low-code startups will shine even brighter in the future.
So, here are our favorite startups that have a no-code or low-code software:
Cumul.io - The building block for dashboards & reporting, seamlessly integrated into your application.
Cumul.io is a great low-code solution for SaaS companies to embed interactive dashboards in the client portal. Adding powerful reporting features and empowering clients to do more with their data is a great way to increase revenue and deliver more value to clients.
Cumul.io can be connected with databases, files, and online services such as Salesforce, Hubspot, Zendesk, Google Analytics, etc or your API.

What we've learned after our first tech event?
This was the first time we set up a booth at a tech event. Here are a few things we've learned you might find useful:
- If possible, take one LCD screen with you and play an attractive video/GIF in a loop. Hundreds of people will walk by your booth, something should distract them!
- Remember to take photos as you visit their booth. Sadly, I could only find cumul.io's photo to showcase in this article.
- Definitely think of a cool swag idea (promotional item) to get more attention. The event was in December, and Berlin was cold. Below you can find my photo with our swag. Everyone loved it!
- LinkedIn has a great feature to scan a profile's QR code and connect in seconds. Remember to use it!
- Arranging a meetup after the event with people you've met and other friendly startups helped us increase our network as well. Thanks to Mustafa, Barkın, Kaan and, others again for arranging the meetup!
- TechCrunch Disrupt is a giant event. Definitely check out the speakers and startups before you get there.
