Company mission
To power the workforce of tomorrow by creating the world's leading ecosystem of business apps.
Our take
Low-code development tools are in high demand for their ease of use and ability to hugely reduce product launch runways. This is especially the case when it comes to building apps for internal use, freeing up developers to focus on building products that can be monetised. Indeed, the global low-code development platform market size is growing annually by around 30%.
Budibase has tapped into the demand, allowing users to connect to external databases and build internal tools such as apps, forms, and workflows in minutes. Despite only being founded in 2019, the platform is already being used by tens of thousands of companies, including high profile names like Netflix, Disney, Tesla and P&G.
Having secured venture funding in November 2022, the company is now backing itself to grow further in the next few years, differentiating itself by being open-source and including a number of automated built-in features to boost its user-friendliness.

Company values
- Open and inclusive - we're an organization building an open source product - being open and inclusive is in our DNA, and we will continue to make this our number one cultural priority as we continue to grow and scale.
- Product led; community driven - we work hard to deliver an experience that sparks joy in developers By empowering developers to create, we can power the flywheel that is community. We treat our community like colleagues, and this creates a force no other company can compete with.
- Fast and focused- we move fast and we focus hard on delivering the most value we can in a given period of time. Our ambition is to be the best at what we do, and deliver a best in class product.
- Experimentally curious; growth determined - on a monthly basis, we have an event called Lab Day. For 24 hours, employees can experiment on anything they want, whether it be creating a new feature, testing a new framework, or building a product with Budibase. We love to experiment and learn from data. It's this curiousness that helps Budibase deliver value where others don't, and drive growth.
