Our take
The inspiration for WorkOS came from the founder’s previous email startup, Nylas, and the difficulties he faced in crossing what he calls “the enterprise chasm.” The challenge of serving enterprise clients, and meeting their stringent security and admin requirements, is one that many B2B SaaS startups face as they start to scale.
WorkOS steps in at this critical stage, providing a single API driven platform which enables its customers to easily integrate with the major vendors that provide enterprise security and admin solutions. For example, rather than building individual integrations with each of the single sign-on (SSO) providers, a customer would only need to integrate with WorkOS in order to support these solutions.
Enterprise features that WorkOS is providing building blocks for include Single Sign-On, Directory Sync, Audit Trail, and more. WorkOS are helping a whole host of SaaS providers break into enterprise channels, and have been bolstered by substantial Series B funding in 2022. In that same year, WorkOS acquired its first company, UI framework builders Modulz, a deal that will widen the scope of API products that WorkOS can offer.
