Our take

Airtable allows users to create and collaborate on spreadsheets and relational databases without having to write lines of SQL code. It's most often used for customer-relationship management, project management, workflow planning and inventory.

In this sense, the concept is similar to the likes of Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel, but the fact that it functions as a database while remaining as easy to use as a spreadsheet is what sets it apart. So too does the fact that it can be used to build apps using Airtable’s own library of User Interface tools.

Whilst startups, including NocoDB, are setting out to challenge Airtable's industry-leading position, since launching in 2012, the business has grown pretty spectacularly, amassing an $11 billion valuation. The company also boasts an impressive (and evergrowing) list of customers using its cloud based platform, including Netflix, Expedia, Medium and Shopify.

Company values

  • Humility. We approach our work with humility. We’re open to new ways of thinking, seek out the perspectives of people different from us, and strive to not be arrogant or entitled
  • Bias for Action. We prioritize progress over perfection and operate with urgency. We move fast to deliver ambitious goals, but know that sometimes getting the right results demands more time
  • Customer First. We believe customer success isn’t the responsibility of a single team: instead, we all own this. In everything we do, we start with the customer and work backwards
  • Growth Mindset. We’ve all got a lot to learn and know there’s always room for improvement. We’re aware of our shortcomings and welcome feedback on how we can do better. If we fail, we learn fast and move on.
  • One Team. We do what’s best for Airtable: we’re one team working towards one mission. We’re collaborative and share our work openly. We’re invested in each other’s success
