Softr raises $13.5M to create ecosystem for building no-code apps

Softr, an Armenian web-app building platform, has raised a $13.5M in Series A funding to create the world’s largest ecosystem for building no-code apps, the company has announced.

Since its launch at the beginning of 2021, more than 35,000 businesses and operators have started using Softr to build custom apps powered by their data.

"With this funding, a new chapter of Softr’s journey begins. We are building the world’s largest ecosystem for building no-code applications," CEO & Founder Mariam Hakobyan has revealed.

First, starting this year Softr will become a data source agnostic platform that hooks into an organization’s data (Airtable, Google Sheets, Relational Database(SQL), APIs, etc) and empowers the 1 billion knowledge workers to build their own tools to get their job done more efficiently, whether internally with other team members or externally with their clients and partners.

Secondly, companies will be able to extend Softr beyond the platform itself, with the help of three main pillars:

Template marketplace (coming soon): making it easy for anyone to discover, create, collaborate, share and sell their apps in a form of a template,

Component marketplace (by next year): making it easy for anyone to discover and re-use 3rd party components built by a community of developers, and,

Softr experts (launched): all the developers, partners, and creators working with Softr will be empowered to build custom solutions with Softr and grow with the ecosystem
