About EPYC
EPYC is a product design and no-code development studio working with industry giants in SaaS, VC, and Web3, such as Polygon, Accel, 3one4 Capital, and upGrad. Co-founded by Keshav Sharma, who leads the team building on Webflow, EPYC focuses on building software solutions without code—transforming innovative ideas into reality for clients worldwide.
The Challenge
When EPYC partnered with Accel to revamp the application experience for their Atoms cohort, they faced a recurring issue: applicants frequently entered inaccurate LinkedIn URLs, leading to data gaps and disruptions. Accel required a robust solution to capture accurate LinkedIn data, reduce errors, and elevate the user experience.
EPYC explored various automation tools, including Xano and n8n, but encountered technical limitations and bugs, particularly in LinkedIn API integration. They needed a reliable solution that could automate LinkedIn authentication and data retrieval—without compromising data accuracy or requiring custom code.
Why BuildShip?
Having previously used BuildShip, EPYC was confident it could tackle the LinkedIn authentication challenge effectively. BuildShip’s no-code capabilities and versatile API integration made it the ideal tool to design and deploy a reliable, automated solution quickly.

The Solution
Using BuildShip, EPYC implemented a LinkedIn authentication layer for Accel’s Atoms application process, enhancing data accuracy and user experience. Here’s how BuildShip transformed EPYC’s approach:
1. Automated LinkedIn Authentication: BuildShip enabled EPYC to create a LinkedIn login for Atoms applicants, ensuring accurate profile data capture. Previously, applicants often entered incorrect LinkedIn URLs, disrupting data accuracy for Accel. Now, logging in through LinkedIn automates data fetching, reduces errors, and improves the user experience.
2. Effortless Data Retrieval: Post-authentication, BuildShip retrieves LinkedIn data automatically, eliminating manual errors and maintaining data quality. Having previously used BuildShip, EPYC was confident it would outperform tools like Xano and n8n in meeting this need.
3. Automated Data Distribution: Once submitted on Webflow, BuildShip distributes the application data to Accel’s data stores, ensuring all systems stay in sync.
Results: BuildShip empowered EPYC to deliver a solution that was previously unattainable with other tools, reducing development time from weeks to just a weekend.
Key Outcomes
- Increased Accuracy: Reduced data errors and ensured accurate LinkedIn profiles for Accel’s applicants.
- Accelerated Time-to-Launch: EPYC’s solution, powered by BuildShip, cut backend development time by over 75%.
- Enhanced No-Code Capabilities: BuildShip unlocked scalable, automated solutions without needing a line of custom code.
Conclusion
EPYC’s experience with BuildShip showcases the immense potential of no-code solutions in the product design and development industry. By choosing BuildShip, EPYC was able to empower Accel’s application process with robust, error-free data solutions and deliver complex systems on a rapid timeline, demonstrating BuildShip’s value as a game-changer for product studios looking to push the boundaries of no-code development.
