Overview
Zapier provides workflows that allow different web applications to be used in the same workflow. Their products focus on automating recurring tasks, such as lead management.[1][2] Users can set up "rules" that set up the flow of data between different tools and services. [1][3][4]
History
Zapier was founded in Columbia, Missouri by Wade Foster, Bryan Helmig, and Mike Knoop in 2011.[5] The following year, they were accepted to the Y Combinator[6] startup seed accelerator and temporarily relocated to Mountain View, California. In October 2012, Zapier received a $1.3 million seed round led by Bessemer Venture Partners.[7]
In 2020, as the Covid-19 pandemic spread, Zapier set up a $1 million small business assistance fund for struggling customers.[7]
Sequoia Capital and Steadfast Financial bought shares from some of the company's original investors in January 2021 at a valuation of $5 billion.[7][8]
In March 2021, the company acquired Makerpad, a no-code education service, for an undisclosed sum of money.[9]
As of January 2022, the company employs approximately 500 people in 38 countries.[10]
