Revenue numbers aren't mentioned in the article. Does anyone know about the multiple (valuation/revenue) they've raised at?



The Forbes article mention that they are on track to be around $20M https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevenbertoni/2018/11/15/move-s...


I'm guessing 20-25x revenue. Probably around 40m in ARR?


You're telling me AirTable makes more money than Zapier? wow


Valuations are not always straightfoward, and we don't know Airtable's ARR. I see Airtable as an Excel + Repl SaaS replacement. Does that have a larger market available to it? Maybe! Also, it doesn't appear Airtable has any competitors in the space (whereas your example has multiple competitors; MuleSoft is at ~$300 million/year in revenue, Microsoft doesn't break out their Flow service revenue unfortunately).

I think Airtable and Zapier are both great products, and recommend both to clients, but they have different use cases.


What's the most impressive Airtable use-case that comes to your mind, since you recommend it to clients? I'm trying to think of something that Google Spreadsheet + Zapier add-ons don't cover...can't come up with much


A client has a popular t-shirt production business and brand that does around $60 million a year in revenue and they're using Airtable as their process workflow tool (inventory, shipping, production, etc). They'll eventually graduate to a traditional ERP system, they're just not ready yet.

Also, I don't find Google Spreadsheet to be a compelling tool for anything mission critical.


Thanks for sharing!


Happy to help, a rising tide lifts all boats.
