In the first part of our Solo Techpreneur series, we uncovered who solo techpreneurs are. We explained why their numbers are growing. We also described how they differ from traditional freelancers. We also explored real-world success stories that prove this movement isn’t just a trend—it’s a growing revolution.

Now, in Part 2, we take things a step further.

If you’ve ever dreamed of building a tech business, this article is for you. Maybe you held back because you can’t code or don’t have a big team. The truth is, powerful AI tools make this possible. No-code/low-code platforms and automation software also help. You can now build, launch, and grow your own tech business—solo.

In this article, we’ll explore the best tools and platforms to help you start, regardless of your technical background.

7 Must-Have Toolsets Every Solo Techpreneur Needs (Even If You Can’t Code)

Starting a tech business solo in 2025 is easier than ever. This change isn’t due to less work. Instead, the right tools can remove massive barriers. You can now build your product yourself. You can sell and market it. You can also support customers with smart, accessible platforms.

Here’s a breakdown of the essential tools across 7 categories you’ll need to launch and grow your solo tech business.

1. No-Code Website Builders

Why you need this: Every tech business needs a digital presence. Whether you’re launching a product, offering a service, or building your personal brand—websites are your storefront.

• Wix – A beginner-friendly drag-and-drop builder with templates, marketing tools, and e-commerce built-in. Great for quick launches.
• Webflow – For more design freedom. A favorite of designers who want pixel-perfect sites with CMS features—no code needed.
• Carrd – Ideal for one-page landing sites, portfolios, or MVPs. Ultra-simple and affordable for getting online fast.

2. No-Code App Builders

Why you need this: Want to launch an app without hiring developers? These tools let you build fully functional web or mobile apps with zero coding.

• Bubble – Powerful enough to build full web apps with complex logic, workflows, and database structures.
• Adalo – A great choice if you’re aiming for mobile apps. Design native iOS/Android apps visually and publish them with ease.
• Glide – Perfect for data-based apps. Turn Google Sheets into polished mobile apps in minutes. (I personally use Glide. Let me know in the comment section if you need a detailed blog on How to build app on Glide?)

3. AI Content & Code Assistants

Why you need this: You’ll need to write, plan, ideate, and maybe even code. These AI assistants supercharge your productivity.

• ChatGPT – Acts like your brainstorming partner. Helps write content, validate ideas, draft emails, build user flows, and even code simple features.
• GitHub Copilot – For those with some coding knowledge. It autocompletes code and saves hours of debugging.
• Jasper AI – Your go-to for marketing content: blog posts, ads, landing page copy, and email campaigns.

4. Automation & Workflow Tools

Why you need this: As a solo founder, your time is limited. Automate routine tasks—like form submissions, emails, CRM updates—so you can focus on what really matters.

• Zapier – Connect thousands of apps to trigger actions without writing a single line of code.
• Make (Integromat) – Offers more advanced logic and visual flow builders for intricate automations.
• IFTTT – Simple “if this, then that” connections for apps and smart devices. Great for basic productivity automations.

5. Marketing & Design Tools

Why you need this: You’ll need to look professional, attract an audience, and stay consistent with content marketing.

• Canva – Design social posts, pitch decks, blog graphics, and even logos with ease. Zero design experience required. Canva is my personal favorite.
• ConvertKit – Built for creators. Manage your email lists, automate sequences, and grow your audience via newsletters.
• Buffer / Hootsuite – Schedule, post, and track your social media content across platforms from one dashboard.

6. Product & Payment Platforms

Why you need this: You’re here to make money. These platforms help you sell, collect payments, and manage subscriptions or digital goods.

• Gumroad – Sell digital products (ebooks, courses, templates) directly with zero technical setup.
• Lemon Squeezy – Great for SaaS startups. Handles recurring billing, VAT/tax compliance, and customer invoicing for global sales.
• Stripe – The most powerful payment API. Ideal if you’re building a custom SaaS app or need full control over transactions.

7. Customer Support & Engagement Tools

Why you need this: Whether it’s answering questions, resolving issues, or converting leads—customer interaction is key. These tools help you do it effectively.

• Tawk.to – A completely free live chat widget you can add to your website for real-time support.
• Crisp Chat – Includes live chat, chatbot automation, and team collaboration—all in one interface.
• Intercom – Perfect if you expect growth. Scales with you and offers email automation, product tours, and robust CRM features.

Conclusion: You’re Closer Than You Think

The tools we explored aren’t just tech buzzwords. They’re real, practical gateways to building your own business. You don’t need a full team, a big budget, or a computer science degree. Whether you’re a student, a designer, or someone with a powerful idea, you already have enough to begin.

You don’t have to do everything at once. Start simple. Pick one tool. Explore one idea. Take one step. That’s how solo techpreneurs are winning in 2025.
