Our take
All businesses, especially within commerce, rely on the constant evolution of marketing, content and visuals. Builder.io is a no-code platform for digital storefronts. The company is on a mission to make customers' lives easier by doing all of the coding work for them and providing an intuitive platform to design and publish content.
The key message from Builder.io is that anyone can be involved in the creation process and those not equipped with all the skills, shouldn’t have to miss out because of the complexities that go on behind the scenes. The company is home to a team of “Builders” who support the ongoing development of the Builder.io Platform, one that has drag and drop functionality and is easily integrated with customers softwares like Shopify.
Having received $20 million in funding in 2024 bringing their total to over $40 million, the company has created a really well-established platform and has managed to acquire a strong client base. It’ll be interesting to see how the company scales with new features and ventures that are yet to be disclosed.
