Origin Story

By Howie Liu

The Problem

Spreadsheets are everywhere but can't handle relationships between data. Databases can, but require developers to build apps on them.

Building It

Founded 2012, launched 2015. Raised $1.36B, valued at $11B. 450K+ organizations across every industry.

What It Means

Created the spreadsheet-database hybrid category and proved non-technical teams can build their own tools.

The Dream

Democratize software creation so anyone can build the tools they need from their data.
