“My tech startup failed because our founding team were all non-technical” - Max, founder of the 100 School

Welcome to the 💯 Digest: a weekly newsletter that helps you solve problems that matter with tech - through stories, handpicked links, and one mystery opportunity (read till the end 👀). Brought to you by the 100 School team (#100daysofnocode / #100daysofai)

This week’s 💯 Digest includes…

  • 🛠 Tool tour: Find the tool of the week

  • 📚 Watch/read/listen: The rise and fall of Adalo & more!

  • 🗻 Board meeting: We’re now a school & more!

  • 🤫 Weekly advent calendar: One mystery opportunity!

Tool tour 🛠

We’re always on the look out for epic tools. Here are the best ones we found from the last week…

  • 🤖 Wordware: the tool for building AI agents with natural language programming

Read. Watch. Listen. To... 📖

Sure, we’re all about helping you learn tech skills but if we dig a little deeper, it’s really about a commitment to showing up and hitting 💯% of your potential with the tools at your disposal. Some gems to help you get there…

Join our board meeting 🏂

If you want to see under the hood and shape what’s next for the 100 school, this is your stop.

👀 First some context…

It’s Max here 👋. I run 💯 School. I’m also a solo-founder. And get told a lot…”Max! You should get some extra help calling the shots”.

That’s where you come in.

I use this little corner of the digest to share lessons, wins & questions with you every week as I build the school. Like a board meeting but way more casual 😅. Thankyou 🙏

📕 WIN: we’re now a school

We’re building a damn SCHOOL!!

Linkedin finally switched us from a company to "school" account - this means our alum can add us to their education!

It’s tiny but it feels more real now 😅

I never found school that fun nor was I the most academic.

Now I’m building the one I wish I had (and that we need).

Oh and one that actually helps you thrive in the least linear, most fluid world of work we've EVER inhabited.

Our students will never be judged on grades.

Because in this new world, there's only one currency that truly matters: value.

Your ability to deliver it, to create it, to multiply it.

Your weekly advent calendar 🎁

Every week we share a little mystery opportunity that we think you’ll like - it can be everything from a tool discount, merch drop, event, freelance gig, new project or challenge we’re launching - we try to keep you on your toes. A weekly advent calendar but just not in December. Drum roll please 🥁….

🚀 Free Workshop: Social media is buzzing about Replit AI agents, an AI-powered tool to help you build apps. But how you can actually build your first app there as a non-techie? Join us for a beginner session with the Replit team! Register here.

Until next time (drop me a reply if you have any Q’s 😊),

Max 👋
