No-code promises to be easy, but it still has hard parts that people don't tell you about.

In my experience, no-code/low-code projects have three parts.

• 80% is work. You put one foot in front of the other, but it seems intuitive on its face.

• 15% is hard. You do some research and experiment, and the project seems to yield slowly - often too slowly. One wonders, "is this how easy no-code is supposed to be?

• 5% feels impossible - like you ran into a wall. "This just doesn't make sense!" In these moments, shipping is at its most precarious because you lose all-important momentum.

The 15% and 5% show up at different times for different projects. Sometimes the hard part is unsticking how to plan the data. Sometimes it's at the end, like shipping that mobile app to the Apple and Google stores. But whenever it hits, it is easy to feel despair.

You don't need all the answers.

My name is Ray Deck. I've been a founder, CTO, and consultant. Over 25 years, I have learned that the through-line for all these roles is that of a teacher or coach.

We mustn't think we have to possess all the answers. A lot of it is being able to step back and find the right question and mental model that breaks open that brutal 5%.

I created Statechange PRO to help you get past that 5% and ship their project by helping you help yourself.

We use office hours, forums, and the support of our fellow members to give you the tools to make the impossible 5% possible and that hard 15% tolerable. In short, make progress.

Our early days have shown the success of our model.

Founders and builders have cracked hard problems that previously nettled them for days and weeks.

But right now, as you'll see below, I'm looking for a specific person to join this small, intimate cohort of dedicated builders.

If you're serious about shipping your project and moving on to that exciting next step in your business, I'd invite you to read the page below and apply for membership.

I can't wait to learn with you.

Our commitment to “everyone ships” is ambitious. To achieve that, you must be ambitious, too. This is a done-with-you accelerated incubator. Our time and energy is limited, and the quality of your cohort is critical. If you don’t fit these criteria, please don’t apply.

1. You’re not a fly-by-night founder chasing the “dream of no-code”
2. You’re more interested in what comes AFTER you ship - not the process of building
3. You’ll follow through to the end. There is no question you’ll put in the effort
4. You’re not a perfectionist
5. You’re smart, humble, and generous - you're here to learn, and if you can help someone else, you will.
6. You're nice. Unkind members will be shown the door per our code of conduct.

There are NO technical requirements. You do not have to be a technical builder. That’s not required to ship fast.

We are currently in phase three and are accepting 2520 more builders
