![]() ![]() What I'd really love to talk about today, and really the focus of this podcast, is really diving into the founding story. So I'd say that you guys are doing something right. The latest stats has the company valued at around $11 billion. And so you guys started Airtable in 2012 so it's about a 10 year old company. So definitely one of the most fun parts about building a product from scratch and kind of seeing it out in the world. And it's always fun meeting customers and chatting with them and understanding how they're using the product. ![]() I never thought people would see this thing and use it. I think in my mind, we're still the scrappy company where I'm thrilled somebody's like, oh, I've heard of Airtable. And you mentioned a factor that I found in my research 80% of Fortune 100 companies use Airtable, that's a crazy stat like, do you wake up and not believe that that's true? I can imagine that that's a pretty mind blowing stat to run a company that that's true for? I've been so fortunate to be able to build software, and have an impact in the world and give that to a much broader audience of business users and make it simple enough where they can kind of build their own apps for work. And really, our vision is to make it so that non technical people can build software for their teams and their companies and really build more efficiency into their work and kind of do things better, and really give people the superpowers we have as software creators. There are a lot of different ways that people build apps themselves that can empower their business processes. Whether that's, you know, doing a film production and making blockbuster movies, to design and marketing athletic wear, to distributing life saving vaccines. So over 80% of Fortune 100 use Airtable to build workflows that meet their needs. And really, it lets teams build their own apps that modernize their business processes. Yeah, so Airtable, we describe it as a connected apps platform. And we'd love to hear just a quick intro of Airtable like how do you explain to people what Airtable is when they ask? Thanks for having me excited to be on the ship. Let's dive in and hear what the early days of Airtable looked like. Andrew shares with us the story of how three friends from college open $11 billion no code platform that more than 80% of Fortune 100 use today. A really exciting episode today with Andrew Ofstad one of the co-founders of Airtable. Real lessons from real founders, the Early Days podcast by Antler. ![]()
