Our take

The lightweight and modular nature of APIs provide opportunities for software developers to integrate other applications within theirs, but the variety is becoming overwhelming. With an estimated 50,000 APIs currently in circulation, finding the right API for a developer has become a fragmented and disorganised process.

Rapid provides a digital marketplace for the discovery, payment, and management of public APIs. The company aims to enhance the productivity rates of developers by streamlining the APIs that are visible to them based on their company interests. By also facilitating the management of API contracts, the company provides solutions for API developers to monetize their work.

Rapid's customers include Microsoft, Google and Cisco, along with over 4 million developers. Having raised an impressive sum in a recent Series D funding round, Rapid will continuing building its API Hub, with additional API functionality and development tools. As API use continues to skyrocket, Rapid is well placed to continue its own ascent.
