HuggyStudio was founded to solve a common challenge faced by many aspiring entrepreneurs—building and iterating on ideas without technical skills or significant funding. In its early days, the company experienced firsthand the pitfalls of traditional development: investing in products that didn’t gain traction, struggling with outsourced development, and facing delays due to a lack of technical expertise.
Through these challenges, HuggyStudio discovered the power of no-code tools, enabling entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to life without relying on developers or raising capital. Today, HuggyStudio empowers others to turn their visions into reality through no-code, making entrepreneurship more accessible than ever.
HuggyStudio gets its name from HuggyList, one of the first product of its original founder, which was inspired by the famous hustler Huggy Bear from the television series Starsky & Hutch.
Huggy Bear was known for running multiple businesses and being the trusted informant for the detectives—whenever they needed guidance, he was the go-to source with the best tips to point them in the right direction.The name Huggy also represents care and support, values that are deeply embedded in HuggyStudio’s mission to empower entrepreneurs on their journey.
