Airtable is a cloud collaboration service headquartered in San Francisco. It was founded in 2012 by Howie Liu, Andrew Ofstad, and Emmett Nicholas.
Airtable is a spreadsheet-database hybrid, with the features of a database but applied to a spreadsheet. The fields in an Airtable table are similar to cells in a spreadsheet, but have types such as 'checkbox', 'phone number', and 'drop-down list', and can reference file attachments like images.[1][2]
Users can create a database, set up column types, add records, link tables to one another, collaborate, sort records and publish views to external websites. Users cannot download their database in full, but can download some of the data by manually downloading CSVs for each table.[3]
In February 2015, Airtable raised $3 million from Caffeinated Capital, Freestyle Capital, Data Collective, and CrunchFund.[4] In May 2015, the company secured an additional $7.6 million in funding from Charles River Ventures and Ashton Kutcher.[5] In March 2018, Airtable raised $52 million in Series B funding, followed by the announcement of the launch of Airtable Blocks.[6] In November 2018 it raised $100 million in Series C funding.[7] In September 2020, Airtable raised $185 million in Series D funding.[8] This was followed by a Series E funding round in March 2021, where Airtable secured $270 million,[9] led by Greenoaks with participation from WndrCo, Caffeinated Capital, CRV, and Thrive.[10] The company's growth culminated in December 2021 when Airtable raised $735 million in a Series F funding round, boosting its valuation to $11 billion.[11]
