Airtable was co-founded in 2013 by CEO Howie Liu - who sold his previous enterprise software company Etacts to Salesforce in 2011 – alongside CTO Emmett Nicholas, a former Microsoft and Stack Overflow software engineer, and Andrew Ofstadt, previously a product manager at Google who led a Google Maps team. It has grown hugely fast on a freemium land-and-expand-to-premium offerings approach with strong word-of-mouth-driven expansion across blue chips.Īirtable claims to have 80% of the Fortune 100 as customers, with marquee brands like Amazon, IBM, Netflix, Nike, and Red Bull, Restoration Hardware, and Under Armour all listed as users of its software. Described by one watcher as a “turbocharged Google Sheets” it has a wealth of integrations and also provides an API for outside developers to create apps and functions that run within its ecosystem. The company describes itself in various places as a low code specialist, a workflow specialist and a “real time, collaborative database with a spreadsheet-like interface”.


Workflow application provider Airtable has raised $735 million in a Series F funding round that values it at a huge $11.7 billion in what is a huge endorsement of its opportunity to peel off enterprise workloads.
