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.

Whereby is video calls without the download dance. Just share a link, people click, they’re in. Founded by Ingrid Ødegaard, grew organically to customers in 175 countries. Great for quick calls where you don’t want to make people install yet another app.
