Details
Airtable is what spreadsheets should have been. Part spreadsheet, part database, all flexible. Founded by Howie Liu who noticed 90% of spreadsheets don’t even use formulas: people just organize stuff. Great for tracking anything from content calendars to customer lists to inventory. Bending Spoons, the Italian software company, completed its purchase of Airtable on 4 September 2026.
Canny helps product teams collect, organize, and prioritize customer feedback. Clean interface with built-in roadmaps and changelogs.
Bootstrapped to $3.3M ARR by Sarah Hum and Andrew Rasmussen, both ex-Facebook. Remote team of 16, profitable since year one.
