Our take
Retool allows developers to build internal applications quickly using a complete set of ready-made building blocks. These internal applications can be used to display company data from a range of sources, including Redis, Salesforce, Google Cloud, and Slack.
For a monthly fee, the platform enables companies to save time that they would have otherwise spent on developing their own internal applications. Retool brands itself as 'low-code,' meaning that it is easy to use and customize. There is a huge demand for systems that allow teams to analyze the data they already have. Retool already counts brands such as Amazon, Philips, Peloton, NBC, and Mercedes-Benz as customers.
Founded in 2017, the company is now valued at over $3.6B. Founded by Oxford graduate David Hsu, the management team includes ex-Stripe and ex-Airbnb employees with plenty of experience in taking a company from a start-up to a global brand.
