Why are we building this?
Most internet businesses equip themselves with either spreadsheet or a database to solve their business needs. Spreadsheets are used by a Billion+ humans collaboratively every single day. However, we are way off working at similar speeds on databases which are way more powerful tools when it comes to computing. Attempts to solve this with SaaS offerings has meant horrible access controls, vendor lockin, data lockin, abrupt price changes & most importantly a glass ceiling on what's possible in the future.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide the most powerful no-code interface for databases, accessible to every internet business across the world. By making this capability broadly available under a fair and sustainable model, we aim to democratise access to powerful computing tools and enable a billion-plus people to develop radical tinkering and building abilities on the internet.
