The story of Vlad Magdalin, Webflow's CEO, isn't a typical Silicon Valley college drop-out story, where the student leaves to spend their day building an extremely technical product. It's actually the opposite. Vlad dropped out of college, where he was taking classes in computer science, to instead study art. But eventually, coding pulled him back in. He was quite good at it, after all. Determined to find a way to bring his creative and technical passions together, Webflow was eventually born.

We sat down with Vlad to discuss the following: 1) the journey that led to Webflow, 2) advice for building a company with a close friend or family member, 3) how he found investors that align with his values, 4) secrets he wishes he knew from the beginning, and 5) what's in store for the future of no-code (hint: we haven't seen anything yet).
