Our take
Tired of building the same features over and over within their online database work, the founders of Knack set out to create the building blocks to jump-start each application, resulting in the creation of a no-code software development platform that provides users with the tools to create efficient business applications for tasks like productivity, accounting, and team workflow.
Launched in 2012, Knack is now being used across the globe with over 15,000 customers including Spotify, Zendesk, CAT, Honda, and Harvard University. Funds raised by the company are being put towards accelerating its growth, focusing on creating additional product features, and expanding its development and customer support teams.
