Katt Risen

Katt Risen is the online name of Katrien, a non-technical solopreneur from Belgium who builds small internet products with no-code tools and documents the wins and failures in public. After about a decade working as a project manager in digital customer experience, Katt joined a no-code bootcamp and shipped No-Code Guru, a free chatbot that helped beginners pick the right no-code tool, then sold it through MicroAcquire in 2022.

The tweet announcing that first sale went viral, and Katt turned the attention into No-Code Exits, a newsletter profiling makers who reached revenue or an exit using no-code tools. Over roughly two years and 75 issues it grew past 11,000 subscribers and earned around $33K from info products, sponsorships and a paid challenge, before being sold to TaskMagic founder Jeremy Redman for $35K in August 2024.

Katt's current main product is Build The Keyword, a micro-SaaS built on Bubble with co-founder Lee that surfaces online business ideas with real search demand and low competition, so makers can build around a keyword that already brings traffic. Katt also writes the Katt & The Shiny Objects newsletter on Substack and works with small businesses on SEO and Google Ads.
