Webflow for the Backend
We build a low-code platform that lets engineers and product teams rapidly build custom APIs and workflows. It has a drag-and-drop builder combined with an integrated Postgres database so users can manage and query data without needing backend infrastructure.
We live in New York, NY, and Berlin, Germany. After YC, we'll keep the company based in these locations.
Our founders are split between New York and Berlin. This setup lets us tap into talent and markets on both sides of the Atlantic without moving the whole team.
