Rapid Prototyping: No-Code Fintech MVP in 3 Weeks
Client Profile
A fintech founder validating a peer-to-peer micro-lending concept for underbanked communities in the Philippines.
The Challenge
Needed to test the core lending workflow with real users before committing to a full engineering build. Budget was under $10K.
Our Approach
NLabs built a functional prototype using no-code tools (Bubble + Airtable + Stripe) in 3 weeks. The prototype handled borrower applications, lender matching, loan disbursement tracking, and basic repayment management.
Solution Delivered
Tested with 200+ users in 2 pilot communities. Validated the core lending workflow, identified key UX friction points, and generated data that secured $500K in pre-seed funding.
