About Airtable
Airtable is a San Francisco software company that sells a no-code platform combining the ease of a spreadsheet with the structure of a relational database, on which teams build their own applications, workflows and AI agents. It was founded in 2013 by Howie Liu, Andrew Ofstad and Emmett Nicholas and says more than 500,000 organizations use it, including most of the Fortune 100. The company raised more than 1.4 billion dollars from investors such as CRV, Benchmark, Thrive Capital, Coatue, Greenoaks and XN, and reached an 11 billion dollar pre-money valuation in its December 2021 Series F. It bought several small teams to build AI and developer capabilities, including Bayes, Walrus.ai, Airplane, Balsa, Dopt and, in 2025, DeepSky. Bending Spoons agreed in August 2026 to acquire Airtable for 1.28 billion dollars in cash, valuing it at about 2.25 billion dollars including its cash balance, and completed the acquisition in September 2026.

Airtable funding rounds
| Date | Stage | Investors | Raised | Valuation | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 2021 | Series F | XN (lead); Salesforce Ventures; Greenoaks; Silver Lake; Franklin Templeton; ICONIQ Capital; T. Rowe Price; Coatue | $735M | $12B | Airtable, a San Francisco-based low-code platform enabling teams to build customizable apps and workflows, raised $735 million in its Series F funding round in December 2021, led by XN with participation from Franklin Templeton, J.P. Morgan Growth Equity Partners, MSD Capital, Salesforce Ventures, Silver Lake, T. Rowe Price, and existing investors including Benchmark and Coatue. The round brought total funding to $1.36 billion and valued the company at a pre-money valuation of $11 billion, nearly double its prior $5.77 billion valuation. The capital is earmarked for aggressive product development, team expansion, and infrastructure scaling to support a larger global customer base, including over 80% of Fortune 100 companies like Netflix, Shopify, Amazon, and Nike. Airtable focuses on enterprise adoption, combining viral end-user tools with organization-wide scalability amid the growing low-code/no-code market. |
| Mar 2021 | Series E | Greenoaks (lead); Friends & Family Capital; WndrCo; Ethos VC; Thrive Capital; CRV; Caffeinated Capital | $270M | $5.8B | Airtable raised $270 million in a Series E funding round led by Greenoaks Capital in March 2021, at a post-money valuation of $5.8 billion. The company is a no-code workspace platform that enables non-technical teams in finance, marketing, operations, and other departments to create custom workplace applications and manage data without requiring coding skills. By the time of this round, Airtable had already demonstrated significant traction, having reportedly created over 15 million bases (workbooks containing project-specific information) and serving approximately 300,000 organizations including major brands such as Netflix, Time, Medium, Expedia, Cole Haan, and Shopify. The company had achieved rapid growth, scaling to the $100 million ARR milestone in approximately 3.5 years—a significant achievement in the software-as-a-service space. Following this Series E funding, Airtable continued its aggressive upmarket expansion, raising an additional $735 million in a Series F round in December 2021 that valued the company at $11.7 billion, demonstrating investor confidence in its enterprise adoption strategy and market positioning against competitors like Asana and Monday.com. |
| Sep 2020 | Series D | Thrive Capital (lead); Friends & Family Capital; Ethos VC; Benchmark; Inspired Capital; D1 Capital Partners; Coatue; CRV; Caffeinated Capital | $185M | $2.6B | Airtable is a no-code/low-code platform combining spreadsheet simplicity with database power, enabling users to create custom applications for collaboration and automation. It serves over 200,000 organizations as of September 2020, including Netflix, HBO, Condé Nast, TIME, City of Los Angeles, MIT Media Lab, and IBM. The company raised $185 million in its Series D funding round on September 14, 2020, led by Thrive Capital, with participation from Benchmark, Coatue, Caffeinated Capital, CRV, D1 Capital Partners, and others. This brought total funding to about $350 million at the time. The Series D round valued Airtable at a post-money valuation of $2.585 billion, as announced in the official press coverage. Funds were intended to support aggressive platform development amid COVID uncertainties, including new low-code features, automation tools similar to IFTTT, and enhanced data management capabilities. This positioned Airtable to expand in the rapidly recognized low-code/no-code market. Traction prior to the round included $36 million in ARR at the end of 2019 with 54% growth, accelerating past $50 million ARR by mid-2020 due to pandemic tailwinds and upmarket push. Airtable achieved one of the fastest ramps from $10 million to $100 million ARR in about 3.5 years. The round preceded further growth, with Series E ($270 million at $5.8 billion valuation in March 2021) and Series F ($735 million at $11 billion in December 2021), culminating in over $1.4 billion total funding by 2023. Airtable later reported $375 million ARR in 2023 with strong enterprise net retention. |
| Nov 2018 | Series C | Benchmark (lead); Coatue (lead); CRV (lead); Thrive Capital (lead); Alexa von Tobel; Sarah Smith; Freestyle Capital; Emily Weiss; Counterpart Advisors; Dan Rose; Caffeinated Capital | $100M | $1.1B | Airtable is a platform that enables non-technical users to create apps and web-based experiences using a simple spreadsheet-like interface, positioned as a no-code tool for knowledge workers to manage and visualize data. Founded in 2012 by alumni of Google, Salesforce, and Stack Overflow, the San Francisco-based company had gained significant traction by late 2018, serving 80,000 businesses including Target, Box, and Slack, up from 30,000 customers eight months prior. On November 15, 2018, Airtable raised $100 million in a Series C funding round, achieving a post-money valuation of $1.1 billion and unicorn status. The round was led by Thrive Capital (Josh Kushner), Benchmark (Peter Fenton), and Coatue Management (Philippe and Thomas Laffont), with participation from CRV, Caffeinated Capital, and individuals including Alexa von Tobel, Delphine Arnault, Emily Weiss, Sarah Smith, and Dan Rose. This brought total funding to $170 million. The funds were intended to support expansion, including hiring more talent and opening offices outside the US, amid rapid growth in the no-code/low-code software sector. Pre-round reports had anticipated a nearly $1 billion valuation, confirming the momentum among Silicon Valley investors seeking opportunities in rising startup areas. |
| Mar 2018 | Series B | Caffeinated Capital (lead); CRV (lead); Slow Ventures; Freestyle Capital | $52M | - | Airtable raised 52 million dollars in a Series B round in March 2018 and used the announcement to launch Airtable Blocks, a toolkit that lets non-programmers assemble their own software on top of the company's database. The round followed a 3 million dollar seed in February 2015 and a 7.6 million dollar Series A in 2015 and was backed by existing investors including CRV and Caffeinated Capital. It funded product development, hiring and a push beyond the spreadsheet-style database into customisable applications for business teams. Airtable, founded in 2013 by Howie Liu, Andrew Ofstad and Emmett Nicholas and based in San Francisco, combines the ease of a spreadsheet with the structure of a relational database. Eight months later it raised a 100 million dollar Series C at a valuation of 1.1 billion dollars. |
| Jun 2015 | Series A | CRV (lead) | $8M | - | Airtable raised $7.6 million in a Series A funding round on June 30, 2015, led by CRV, with participation from investors including Brennan O’Donnell of SurveyMonkey, Ilya Sukhar of Parse/Facebook, Joshua Reeves of ZenPayroll, Kevin Mahaffey of Lookout, and Othman Laraki of Color Genomics. This followed a prior $3 million raise in February 2015, bringing total funding to $10.6 million at the time. Equitybee reports a $50 million valuation for a listed October 2015 Series A round of $6.1 million, likely corresponding to this CRV-led raise. Airtable provides a no-code relational database platform that offers more power and flexibility than spreadsheets like Excel or Google Sheets, without requiring SQL or programming knowledge. Users can create simple lists like shopping lists or build complex applications such as customized CRM systems. The funding supported Airtable's efforts to establish a niche for users needing database capabilities beyond spreadsheets but not full coding expertise. Airtable aimed to become the default productivity tool for tasks of varying complexity, serving as the backbone for small businesses and teams. |
| Feb 2015 | Seed | Ashton Kutcher; Aaron Harris; David Beyer; BoxGroup; Hammerstone; Amitt Mahajan; Freestyle Capital; Eric Wu; Benjamin Ling; DCVC; Caffeinated Capital; Michael Birch | $3M | - | Airtable raised $3 million in seed funding in February 2015 from a diverse group of investors including venture capital firms and notable individuals such as Ashton Kutcher and Aaron Harris. The funding was used to develop Airtable's low-code database platform, which positioned itself as a bridge between simple spreadsheet tools like Excel and complex databases requiring SQL knowledge. The platform was designed to enable teams and individuals to create customized applications for various use cases, from basic shopping lists to enterprise-grade systems like CRM platforms. The company would go on to achieve significant scale, eventually raising multiple subsequent funding rounds and reaching a $11 billion valuation by December 2021, with its user base growing to include millions of users across more than 250,000 organizations including Netflix, Red Bull, IBM, and the majority of Fortune 1,000 companies. |
