## Introduction

Digital technology is now infiltrating every aspect of our lives. You've probably already heard about how artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and automation are currently changing the world. But there's another revolutionary technology that is definitely worth mentioning - low/no-code development. This is a methodology for creating software and applications with little or no programming.

Today, software development is available to almost anyone thanks to these platforms. This is a new approach to software development that has rapidly gained popularity in recent years. According to the [MarketsandMarkets report](https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/PressReleases/low-code-development-platforms.asp), the global market for low/no-code platforms will double by 2024 and reach 45 billion dollars.

The fact is that thanks to these technologies, users can now create applications without the technical skills that were previously available only to developers. And the use of low/no-code covers many niches: from the business sphere to education and healthcare. Next, we will talk more about this spectrum and successful use cases of low/no-code.

In this edition, we shine a spotlight on Adminix, an extraordinary AI-powered startup that is revolutionizing the landscape of business automation.

Get ready to witness the power of Adminix as they pave the way for a new era of streamlined workflows and cost-effective solutions.

## The idea of creating a startup

The idea of creating a startup arose from our own experience working with companies that had a demand for developing custom solutions to automate their often non-typical business processes because existing solutions on the market were either limited in functionality or too expensive for small and medium-sized companies.

## What are the main stages of creating your startup?

The initial thoughts about creating a product for business process automation emerged in 2018, but at that time we didn't have sufficient experience, so we decided to revisit the idea with a completely different understanding and implementation in 2021.

## Tell me about your team

![](img/christian.jpg)

Adminix has two founders - Oksana (CEO) and Christian (CTO). Oksana has 7 years of experience in marketing and sales, while Christian is a serial technical entrepreneur who co-founded two outsourcing companies in Ukraine that are successfully growing and developing. He has over 10 years of experience in developing custom SaaS products and other software solutions.
We have known each other for 10 years. We met in the double degree program for Ukrainian-French master's diplomas at the Kharkiv National Economic University. During our studies and work in various startups in France, each of us gained certain experience. In 2016, we founded our first B2C startup in Paris. Unfortunately, that startup didn't take off, but during the two years of working on it, we gained valuable experience in entrepreneurship abroad and building a startup targeting not only the local market but the global market as well. In 2021, we started working full-time on Adminix, and although the full-scale invasion slightly slowed down our progress, in the summer of 2022, we made a public product release and started acquiring our first clients. That same year, we participated in the StartupWiseGuys accelerator and the GIST program in Chicago, USA. We also took part in the Ukrainian startup delegation at various conferences (WebSummit, StartupGrind, SelectUSA, VivaTech Conference). All of this helped us build a foundation for the further development of the startup.

## What are the main advantages of this startup?
