What Whalesync does

Whalesync makes data syncing easy. Our automation platform syncs data between key business tools like Webflow/Wix/WordPress and Airtable/Notion/Google Sheets. We give marketing teams two-way, real-time sync, so they can manage their website from their favorite collaboration tools. Whalesync launched during Y Combinator’s S21 cohort. Since then we’ve raised from some of the world’s top investors. We’re now trusted by hundreds of companies like [Ramp]( [Webflow]( and [Alchemy]( and process millions of transactions every day. Many of our customers enjoy the product so much they [tell all their friends](

Manage your website from Airtable and Notion

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a syncing platform that automatically connects data between collaboration tools like Airtable, Notion, and Google Sheets with website platforms such as Webflow, Wix, and WordPress. This way, marketing teams can update their sites in real time from tools they already use, without dealing with complex integrations or manual updates.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Miami, FL and operate as a remote company. After YC, we plan to remain remote with Miami as our base.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Miami because it's where the founders live and wanted to build a distributed team without relocating. Remote work fits our business and team style, and we've found it's enabled us to hire strong talent globally while keeping costs manageable.
