Our take
Mendix’s low-code software helps companies build their own custom software applications more quickly and efficiently.
It was founded in 2005 and didn't get much traction, only raising its first round of funding in 2011. Since then, the amount of software being built has exploded, giving Mendix a market to grow into.
Research company Gartner predicts low-code application development will be responsible for more than 65% of application development activity by 2024.
Siemens, one of the largest industrial companies, acquired Mendix in August 2018. Since then, Mendix has been developing new low-code applications, such as connectors for Amazon Web Services, staying in line with the increased interest in low-code tech.
